Respectable Southern people who do not use negro dialect and who do not strut about talking about honor and chivalr>', mu>t get .ivvfully tired of the screen's representation of their ideals. A story of the South of the post-war period, "Hitchin" Posts" is pretty 'hick molasses. THE KENTUCKY COLONEL — National Film Corp. — Hodkinson SPE.AKING of Southern stories, here is another one. Adapted from a storj by CJpie Read, it has more dash and pep than ■Hitchin' Posts " but still it fails to allow ihc Southerners their full quota of horse sense. The picturesque character of the Colonel is entrusted to Joseph J. Dowling (remember him as the "Miracle Man"?), but the poor old Colonel gets rather lost in a melange of feuds and movie stuff. OVER THE HILLS TO THE POOR HOUSE— Fox THE theme of this picture is mother-love. That alone insures its success, even on blase Broadway, where it ran for a month. The story, based on the poem of the same name by Will Carleton. tells a plain tale of ' a faithful mother of a large brood of children who finds herself solilan. and povertyslrirken in her old age. Eventually she is rescued from the poor house by the youngest son — the "black sheep"' of the family. There is a bold and often too obvious appeal to the emotions throughout the picture, but the relief afforded by the prologue — delightful scenes of childhood, presented with a very deft, sweet and gentle humor — more than makes up for the piled-on pathos of the later reels. Harry Millarde directed. Mrs. Mary Carr plays the mother and gives an admirable performance. She is the Emma Dunn of the silversheet. An engaging child is Jerry Devinc, who plays the lovable terror who grows up into the black sheep. Mr. Fox has an offering here that will play return engagements on many Broadways. ' GOOD REFERENCES— First National CONSTANCE TALMADGE, as gay and as pretty as ever, trips through this story, which is as slim as Connie herself, but not nearly so well-dressed. She's looking for a situation again and of course she gels it, not only working her way into a jobful Eden but marrying one of the wealthiest beau.x in town. It's worth seeing if only for Constance's bathing suit — so fetching that we can picture every little flapper from Keokuk to Squedunk spending her winter evenings fashioning one of her own for swimming parties next summer. \"inccnl Coleman is the leading man. but Ned Sparks walks away with acting honors as the prize-tighter who cuts a mean cajjer in high society. THE JAILBIRD — Incc Paramount Artcraft AN original farce has been provided by Julien Josephson for Douglas Mac1. can's first Thomas Ince-Paramount starring vihicle. "The Jailbird " has all the earmarks >f a typical "Rube'" comedy, but there arc -0 m.iny little incenious twists of plot th.-it It automatically lifts itself out of the ordiiiarv run. You will realize it when you learn , tli.ii the latter half of the fifth reel faiU to ' present the heroine clasped in the arms of ! Ihc city feller. The city feller happens to be •in esc.iped convict who succeeds in jazzing I up a country town in general and the heart l.trry tnhtrlliriiiciil In riJ0T01"LA\ MA JA/.l.Nli U guaranteed.
