Fourth Edition THEATRICAL REVIEWS 101 His Hour (7) An Elinor Glyn story, notable only in that it gives John Gilbert a wonderful acting part. (Feb. 1925) (XIII) His Supreme Moment (8) Fair entertainment, its merit lying in the good work of the east rather than in the story. Blanche Sweet as an actress and Ronald Colman as an engineer. (Sept. 1925) (III) Hot Water (5) Harold Lloyd's fun is not so effective as usual, lacking originality. (Dec. 1924) PTA-f FCA-f (II) The House of Youth (7) A chronicle of the jazz age, somewhat disjointed and inane. (Mar. 1925) (XVIII) How Baxter Butted In (7) A well directed picture which tells of a patient plodder who would like to be a hero but never gets the chance. Matt Moore is splendid as Baxter. Children. (Oct. 1925) PTA-f FCA-y (XXVIII) How to Educate A Wife (6) The troubles of a manicurist who marries an insurance agent. Harmless and fairly amusing. Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, and* Claude Gillingwater. (June 1925) (XXVIII) The Hunchback of Notre Dame (10) Careful and impressive rendering of a classic, with Lon Chaney as Quasimodo. (Apr. 1924) PTA-a (XXVII) The Humming Bird (7) An interesting picture with Gloria Swanson doing some of her best work as Toinette, a thief of the Paris slums. (At>r. 1924) (VII) The Huntress (6) Far-fetched but amusing story of a white girl brought up as an Indian, who sets out in her primitive way to catch herself a husband. Colleen Moore is featured, with Lloyd Hughes, Walter Long, and Snitz Edwards. (Mar. 1924) (III) Husbands and Lovers (8) Comedy drama of a faithless wife, with only a good cast to recommend it. (Dec. 1924) (III) Icebound (7) Serious drama dealing with repressions and inhibitions of certain New England characters. Carefully done. Lois Wilson and Richard Dix. (Apr. 1924) (VII) If I Marry Again (8) Heavy melodrama with restraint in direction and good cast including Doris Kenyon, Anna Q. Nilsson, Myrtle Stedman, Frank Mayo, Lloyd Hughes, and Hobart Bosworth. (Apr. 1925) (III) In Every Woman's Life (7) Melodrama, carefully done but with nothing in particular to recommend it. Virginia Valli, Stuart Holmes, Lloyd Hughes, and Marc McDermott. (Nov. 1924) (III) Inez From Hollywood (6) An overdone story with a movie vamp as the central figure. (Mar. 1925) (III) In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter (7) The well know partners desert the clothing business for the movies. Not so very funny although it tries hard. (Dec. 1924) PTA-f FCA-y (III) In Search of a Thrill (5) Viola Dana in something different. Light but entertaining. (Mar. 1924) (XIII) In the Name of Love (6) One of those love stories in which the wealthy lady marries an impostor who turns out to be the real thing. Greta Nissen and Ricardo Cortez. (Dec. 1925) (VH) I Introduce Me (6) A nervous young man poses as a champion mountain | climber to win the girl he loves. Starring Douglas MacLean.

(Dec. 1925) PTA-f FCA-y (IX) Isn't Life Wonderful (9) Following the fortunes of a Polish refugee family in Germany after the war. Simply treated and carrying a genuine message. Carol Dempster and Neil Hamilton do beautiful work. This is D. W. Griffith at his best. (Sept. 1925) FCA-y (XXIV) I Want My Man (7) A wartime romance involving the blinded soldier who recovers his sight. Fair work by Milton Sills, and Doris Kenyon. (Oct. 1925) (III) Janice Meredith (11) A splendid costume drama of American Revolutionary period, done with vividness and dignity. Marion Davies, Harrison Ford, and Holbrook Blinn.
