THEATRICAL REVIEWS
"1000 and One"
Just A Woman (7) Not entirely convincing story of a woman and two men who managed very well as long as they were poor, but got into trouble after they made money. Conway Tearle, Claire Windsor, and Percy Marmont, (Oct. 1925) (III)
K
The King on Main Street (6) In which royalty takes a little vacation, and then reluctantly goes back to "kinging." Adolphe Menjou is the whole picture. (Jan. 1926) (VII)
A Kiss for Cinderella (7) Barrie's pleasant whimsy exquisitely filmed. Delightful for children and even more so for their elders. Betty Bronson and Tom Moore. (Mar. 1926) PTA-fj (VTI)
A Kiss in the Dark (7) Adolphe Menjou portrays a delightfully wicked fellow who is eternally succumbing to charm of the nearest girl. Amusing in spots. (June 1925) (VII)
Kiss Me Again (7) A slim bit of trite material transformed by sheer brilliance of direction into delightful entertainment. There's nothing to the story but the way it is told is a technical triumph. (Sept. 1925)
(XXVIII)
The Knockout (8) Milton Sills as a gentleman prize-fighter in a slim story. (Nov. 1925) . PTA-f (III)

Ladies to Board (6) Tom Mix takes on an old ladies' home. Some thrills and laughs. Nothing subtle at all. (Sept. 1924) (IX) The Lady (8) Norma Talmadge gives a good character performance in the best story she has had for some time. (Apr. 1925)
PTA-a FCA-a (III) Lady of the Night (6) An underworld story of very slim proportions, with Norma Shearer playing a double role for no apparent reason. (May 1925)
(XIII)
The Last Laugh (7) Character sketch of an old doorman of a great hotel. A powerful performance by Emil Janmngs, with a production notable for simplicity and imaginative quality. A German production. (Sept. 1925)

Lend Me Your Husband (6) A poor story, crudely done. (June 1924)
(XXXII b)
Lightnin' (8) From the Golden stage play, depicting the lovable old renegade. PTA-f FCA-a (IX)
The Light That Failed (7) Changes in the original Kipling story have weakened it, but Percy Marmont gives a good performance as Dick Heldar. (Mar. 1924) PTA-y (VII)
Lilies of the Field (9) Dramatic and nicely done if you care for the "gold digger" type of storv. Corinne Griffith and Conway Tearle. (May 1924)

The Little French Girl (6) Following the book closely. Picture lacks character detail, but is notable for smooth continuity and quietness of action. Alice Joyce outstanding. (Sept. 1925) FCA-a (VII)
Little Old New York (11) Romance with an historical flavor. Marion Davies, a fine supporting cast, and settings by Urban. Children may safelv see it. (Jan. 1924) PTA-f (XIII)
Locked Doors (7) Not a mystery but a highly absurd, emotional sex play. (Feb. 1925) (VII)

Look Your Best (6) Colleen Moore and Antonio Moreno demonstrate the tragic fact that life is very bitter to the lover of sweets when his job depends on his remaining thin. Fair. (Feb. 1924) (XIII)
