We like everything about "What a Wife Learned" excepting the title. It is plainly a title calculated to make a bid for the patronage of the public still swept off its feet by the "Why-Do-Girls-Leave-Home" promise of seeing some sensational secrets revealed. It surely is high time for producers to discontinue hanging up hopes on this sort of unadulterated buncombe. It not only is undignified, but places good pictures on the lower basis of the dime museum. "What a Wife Learned" is a title which indicates the presentation of some choice morsels for gossip on delicate subjects, and, it will attract on. this score. Yet, when the curious see it, they will be disappointed, because it is, in reality, a clean picture of good purpose. It has to do with the complications which follow the marriage of a girl ambitious to achieve a literary career and it presents in an interesting way the clashes possible under such circumstances. There is a big spectacular thrill, too — a flood scene which is quite realistic. Marguerite De La Motte deserves the bulk of the credit for putting the human side of this story across. She proves the kind of a heroine who never loses anyone's fullest sympathy. Milton Sills and John Bowers are satisfactory in their respective roles. "Poor Men's Wives," as it is finally released with a footage of 6900 feet, is not Gasnier's best work by any means. On the contrary, it is entirely too ordinary to serve as an index to the extraordinary Gasnier. The fault may lie somewhere else — most probably in the department where the Schulberg storieaPare selected and prepared for the screen. At any rate, despite its shortcomings, especially its triteness and antiquated methods of treatment, "Poor Men's Wives" will undoubtedly have a quite wide vogue in popular-price circles and it deserves something better than flat failure. It is worth the price of admission, just to see Barbara LaMarr and David Butler work with two unusually clever child artists, Muriel MacCormac and Mickey McBan, who, if given a little leeway, might have almost stolen the picture, for little Muriel displays some remarkable dramatic ability and little Mickey amuses royally. The story unfolded is one which will appeal to those who, find life one unending series of grappling with problems wherein shortage of. coin of the realm is involved much to a natural annoyance. It will not displease anyone of any class, but it will not be proclaimed a Gasnier masterpiece. It is being freely predicted that Jackie Coogan's production of "Oliver Twist," now current, is going to "make" several of the artists in the supporting cast and in (his connection Lewis Sargeant is mentioned most frequently. He plays the part of Noah Claypool in the picture and his work has elicited special comment from the reviewers. Sargeant will be best remembered for his portrayal of the title role in the Lasky production of "Huckleberry Finn." One of his next notable screen appearances will be in the Universal serial, "The Phantom Fortune." Actual filming of the Mowat production of "The Man Who Cheated" has been started at the Hollywood Studios. This forthcoming production is especially interesting for the reason that it will serve as the medium for a screen debut for Lucy Beaumont, noted as "the greatest mother on the stage," who recently quit the footlights to become an exponent of the silent drama.
