DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES The Screen Goer (Continued from page 40) — who spends most of his time in an armchair in exactly the same posture night after night; three or four love affairs — only a statistician could determine the exact number; an ancient roue who lures innocence to his lair ; innocence, blatantly "coming through clean," and all the loathsome rubbish the director could find in all the impossibly bad pictures made since Alexander Black turned the crank of the first motion picture camera some twenty-seven years ago. Mack Sennett never contrived a more laughable farce. And this farce is an insult not only to the intelligence of the audience which are perforce made to view it, but to all the holy things it botches, motherhood, death, virtue, honor. Misspelled captions, ungrammatical sentences, horrible travesties on the art of acting and of picture taking, all are to be found in this vulgar, disgusting mess. And the poor, stilted, shadows of actors and actresses who waded through foot after foot of film, pity for them, for — we hope — they knew not what they were doing ! There was Diana Allen, who, we hear, is doing better things ; there was Corliss Giles, playing a hero that never, never was. And Harold Foshay, who was led into doing the funniest thing ever seen on the screen : at the "biggest" moment of the story, he tiptoes into the room where the hero is lapsing into villany momentarily and clouts him over the head with a six-foot pole so beautifully that Charlie Chaplin, Chester Conklin, Charlie Murray and Ben Turpin, if unfortunately they should ever have to see "Voices," will begin to look to their laurels as. the screen's supreme slap-stickers. Henry Sedley seriously did all he possibly could to make an imaginary old roue real, but he failed. The others — let us be kind and consign them to dear, dead oblivion. The National Board of Review should bar this picture on the grounds of imbecility. OVER THE HILLS (Fox) Unfortunately, William Fox has produced another special. William Fox specials are always unfortunate. Will Carleton's poem, "Over the Hills to the Poorhouse," the basis of this latest Fox picture, affords a theme that is well worthy of the production a Griffith would have given it. Mary Carr, whose role embodies the development of a character over a period of many years, has contributed a truly remarkable characterization to the all too few screen studies worthy of commemoration. The picture, too, introduces Wallace Ray, new to us, a good-looking youngster, who promises to do better things, should an opportunity be offered him. The cast, a satisfactory one, struggled gamely under what must have been abominable direction, with a continuity which lacked any traces of consistency. Real News of Reel People (Continued from page 61) tion of Elizabeth," Billie Burke's newest Paramount picture. In the picture Mr. Hare has the role of the baldheaded fiance of Elizabeth (Miss Burke) and he had to have his head shaved before he could assume the part. * * * John E.
