SCMEENLAN© C| The Editor Reviews the New Films — From page /2 New Screenplays in Review the real reason why Tiger Rose has not edge of interest. A Box Office Tale and That's All Olave or Desire is one of those socalled "box office titles," this time given to a film version of Honore de Balzp.r's immortal tale, The Magic Skin. The magic skin brings the wealth of the world to its owner as the gratification of a mere wish but it grows steadily smaller with each wish — and brings death with the last one. Charles Whittaker's film version shows the spell being broken finally by an unselfish wish. Mr. Whittaker's version, however, is very dull stuff, indeed. Here is an annoying evening in the theatre. Stephen Steps Out, adapted from a Richard Harding Davis story, served to introduce Doug Fairbanks, Jr., to the more or less waiting world. Judging from present indications, it may be his last appearance, for something seems to have intervened between the younger Fairbanks and a screen career. Anyway, the Famous Players didn't renew their option upon his services after this one effort. Yet Stephen Steps Out isn't bad at all — and Doug, Jr., is pleasantly — if mildly — ingratiating. The story is just a boyish tale of adventure at school anc1 later in far off Turkey. You'll see many a worse screenplay almost any evening. Yet, somehow, I hope Doug, Jr., doesn't go on with his screen career — at least just now. He is too nice a boy to be spoiled by studio artificialities, menacing enough in themselves to break many an older person. I, for one, would rather see him a year from now as honestly boyish as when I met him recently than the film idol of all the world. D, Connie's Pallid Costume Piece on't ask me to say much about Constance Talmadge in The Dangerous Maid. It is just pallid costume stuff with the waning Connie having one of her old brittle moments just here and there. We commented last month upon Long Live the King, little Jackie Coogan's newest vehicle and perhaps his most elaborate. Yet this costume opus deserves further comment. This story, by Mary Roberts Rinehart, has certain human qualities, being the story of a lovely little royal prince. But, in it, I fear you will detect the same thing that is manifest to me — that Jackie is growing up. If you watch, you will observe that a calculated technique is supplanting that once matchless spontaneity. In other words, "the kid" is becoming an actor. It isn't serious yet, but it is there. And it will grow. For that is the inevitable demand of life. And so the little boy who dreamed glorious dreams in front of the camera — dreams that came straight to you and me — will grow up. He may become a great actor — but he will never again be a child with the ability to dream golden dreams. ^Announcing Screenland' s Raspberry Award — From page 27 I can't remember the name of the movie. It was something about a working girl with curls who was chased around an office by a scoundrelly factory owner with a mustache and evil intentions. He wanted to kiss the girl. Leastwise, he carried on like that. That was after he had put the key in his pocket. But she kissed the honest factory Sup't in the last scene." Surely some of our readers can help Mr. Strudel. We need his vote. ^Kitty Kurves' Tale of Her Darkest Hour — From page 38 said he would pay me, and pay me well, for my services. All he wanted me to do was to pose for some photographs. Well, it had been so long since anyone had wanted any pictures of me that I was flattered and consented. It was not until the other day that I discovered what it was for. Looking through the back pages of a magazine I found my own picture as the "Before" of a before-andafter fat reducing advertisement. This is, indeed, the end. QLotta Lyons Tells of Her Darkest Hour— from page 38 gee — very brief negligee — and appear in a for my Art — dripping wet for the first shower-bath scene. And there I was — time in my career. Stay at home girls; after all my years of work and suffering it isn't worth it.
