Fourth Edition THEATRICAL REVIEWS 103 The Lost World (10) Unusual picture of prehistoric animal life, based on Conan Doyle's novel. Instructive and interesting. Children. (Sept. 1925) PTA-f FCA-y (III) The Lover of Cam i lie (7) Made over from "Debureau." The sort of thing that should be handled with the lightest touch in the world — and isn't. (May 1925) (XXVIII) Lovers in Quarantine (7) Bebe Daniels in ugly-duckling sort of role. Harrison Ford and she make the most of the comedy situations. (Dec. 1925) (VII) Love's Wilderness (7) Corinne Griffith is lovely but the story is negligible. (Mar. 1925) (III) M Madame Sans Gene (10) Gloria Swanson as merry laundress who flirted with Napoleon and became the Duchess of Danzig. Accuracy of historical backgrounds and properties is valuable as well as pleasing. (June 1925) FCA-y (Vn) Made for Love (7) The love story of two young American people against the colorful background of Egypt and the Valley of the Kings. Leatrice Joy and Edmund Burns. (Apr. 1926) (XVIII) The Mail Man (6) Cheaply melodramatic and sentimental. Hardly worth seeing. (Feb. 1924) (VIII) The Man from Brodney's (8) Romantic thriller by Harold McGrath, J. Warren Kerrigan in heroic role. (May 1924) (XXVIII) Manhandled (7) Gloria Swanson as a comedienne in role of Tessie who clerks in a basement store and is smiled on bv the proprietor's idle son. Amusing. (Nov. 1924) (VII) Manhattan (6) Richard Dix stars in very ordinary story. (Jan. 1925) PTA-f (VII) A Man Must Live (6) A not overly interesting newspaper story with Richard Dix (Sept. 1925) (VII) Mannequin (7) Commonplace story of a girl stolen in infancy from her parents, becomes involved in a murder scandal, and comes under the jurisdiction of her own father. Dolores Costello, Alice Joyce, and Warner Baxter. (Apr. 1926) (VII) The Man on the Box (8) An old tale livened up by Syd Chaplin's humor. No plot to speak of, but it isn't needed. (Jan. 1926) (XXVHI) The Man Who Came Back (9) A stage success that fizzles out on the screen. (Mar. 1925) (IX) The Man Without A Heart (6) A bachelor brother tries to straighten out his sister's marital difficulties with marked lack of success. Not well handled. (Oct. 1925) . (XXXII d) The Marriage Circle (9) Sophisticated comedy made effective by Ernst Lubitsch's inimitable direction and shrewd choice of principals — Adolphe Menjou, Florence Vidor, and Marie Prevost. (Sept. 1924) (XXVIII) The Marriage Maker (6) Concerning some English people of that class who marry for money and not for love. Adventures in their midst of a faun, one of those mythological creatures, half god, half man, supposed to have vanished from the earth ages ago. A charming idea spoiled by too literal interpretation. (Mar. 1924) (VII) Married Flirts (7) Well presented with Pauline Frederick as middle aged woman who turns siren. (Apr. 1925) (XIII) Maytime (6) Light, pleasant romance of Crinoline days, a bit draggy in spots, but on the whole, good. Ethel Shannon, Harrison Ford, and Wallace McDonald. (May 1924) (XXXII c) The Meanest Man in the World (6) Bert Lytell as the man with the heart of stone, who comes to foreclose the mortgage, but remains to fall in love with Blanche Sweet. (Feb. 1924) (ni) The Merry Widow (10) A distinguished cast and a genius of a director make a remarkably satisfactory picture out of pure fluff. Mae Murray, John Gilbert, and Roy D'Arcy. (Jan. 1926) (XIII) Merton of the Movies (8) A prize combination of story, star, and director. Far and away the best of the stories in which the ambitious youth makes a name in the movies. Humor and pathos subtly mingled. (Dec. 1924) PTA-f FCA-y (VII) The Midshipman (8) Ramon Novarro in a comedy drama of life at Annapolis. Quite harmless, but correspondingly lifeless. (Jan. 1926) PTA-f j (XIII) The Mine with the Iron Door (7) Typical western material of Harold Bell Wright, with Dorothy Mackaill and Pat 0' Malley in the leads, and a good Indian characterization by Robert Fraser. (Jan". 1925) PTA-f FCA-y (III)
