Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1920)

Photoplay Maoazixe— Advertisint. SErnox The Shadow Stage 9r ( Continued) the harder, the swan song of those cupids of comedy, Douglas McLean and Doris May. is their best picture since "Twenty-Three and a Half Hours Leave." Luther Reed has made his funniest scenario from a story supplied by Mildred Considine. Reed's subtitles are sure-fire: they scintillate. You're with the newly-wedded Langdons from first to last, thanks to him. Douglas McLean is again a younger and handsomer Willie Collier — only more so. Doris May in pajamas is the Month's Best Optical Moment. Any crabbed critic who can sit through this without laughing right out, must be either blind or insensible. As the exhibitor's report will say, "You can't go wrong — don't miss it." THE GARTER GIRL — Vitagraph EVERY now and then some write hope is hailed as "the new O. Henry." And then he fades out. That there is only one O. Henry is attested to by this screening of his "Memento." Faithfully translated into scenario form, very well directed by Edward Griffith, a youngster out of Uncle Sam's service who is going to show them all someday, and naively acted by that baby-star. Corinne Griffith, it is fine entertainment. Corinne is Rosalie Lee, a vaudeville girl who turns down her well-meaning partner to find love in the country and clergyman's garb, only to discover that you can't always tell who has the garter you flung into the audience as part of your act. Rod LaRocque as the disappointing young clergyman who is fond of garters, could not be bettered. Earle Metcalfe, an old Lubinite. comes back with a wallop as the actor. While Miss Griffith herself is a complete surprise. Here is one young woman with great beauty and charm who becomes a better actress with every new picture. BY GOLLY— Mack Sennett-Paramount THE month's dreariest comedy. Anyway, that's what the program calls it — a "comedy.'' Charlie Murray worked hard and so did Baldy Belmont. Harriet Hammond looked her prettiest. But the result was one of those things you like to forget as soon as possible. Mack must be asleep at the switch. MRS. TEMPLE'S TELEGRAM — Paramount'Artcraft AXOTHER one of those serious attempts to be very, very funny. If Bryant Washburn, one of our best real comedians, and Wanda Havvley, one of our best real blondes, were not in it — but they are. and you've no idea how they help things along. A plot that is mostly "business,'' a fat man who is played by Walter Hiers, who is funny if you like him, Wanda and Bryant — and there you are. Take it or sleep through it. THE DEVIL'S CLAIM — Robertson-Cole THERE is a good deal of hocus-pocus about "The Devil's Claim.'' The combination of Greenwich Village and Hindu atmosphere is like eating Italian spaghetti and chop suey in the same meal. Hayakawa is seen as an intellectual vampire who steals bright ideas from bright young girls and then sells them (the ideas, not the girls) to I the magazines. As usual, he is better than the story. Colleen Moore makes a charming , Hindu-ess, which proves that a lady's ability need not be limited to her name. August Nights Will bring to millions Bubble Grains in Milk Don't put aside your Puffed Grains when breakfast ends in summer. Children want them all day long, and there's nothingbetter for them. The supreme dish for luncheon or for supper is Puffed Wheat in milk. The airy grains — puffed to eight times normal size — taste like food confections. Yet every morsel is whole wheat with every food cell blasted. The finest foods ever created Puffed Wheat, Putted Rice and Corn Puffs are the finest grain foods in existence. Never were cereals so enticing. The grains are fairy-like in texture, the flavor is like nuts. They seem like ticlbits, made only to entice. Yet they are major foods, with every food cell steam-exploded, so digestion is easy and coinplete. They will take the place of pastries, sweets, etc., if you serve them all day long. -And at meal-time they will make whole-grain foods tempting. Puffed Wheat Puffed Rice Corn Puffs On ice cream The Three Bubble Grains Puffed Grains taste like airy nut meats, and they melt into the cream. The dish is made doubly delightful. Puffed Grams are made by Prof. .Anderson's process. A hundred million steam explosions occur in every kernel. They are the best-cooked grain foods m existence. Sen^e all three kinds, at all hours, in all the ways folks like them. The Quaker Qals (pinpany Sole Makers When jou write to ailrertisers jik'ttSf iiiemiuii PUoT(iPI..\.V .\1.V(;.\/.1X£.
