8157 Code SEKIR Dancing Mothers Paramount
Featuring Clara Bow, Alice Joyce, Conway Tearle
and Norman Trevor
Ethel Westcourt, an attractive, charming woman, is surrounded by wealth and luxury in the great Westcourt home, but is lonely and heart-hungry. There is pathos as she waits through the long hours of many nights for the return of her husband, who finds other women more diverting; and of Kittens, her flapper daughter, whose evenings at the night clubs seem fraught with grave danger.
Kittens meets Jerry Naughton, a fascinating chap, who is mixed up in a sensational divorce suit. Her flirtation with Jerry becomes so brazen and so constant at public places and in his apartment, that Mrs. Westcourt hears of it. Alarmed, she asks her husband to forbid his daughter's seeing Jerry again. But Kittens privately reminds him of his friendship with the flashy Irma, and suggests that "we moderns" stand together against mother's Victorian ideas. And the father is compelled to agree.
Ethel Westcourt, once a brilliant actress, determines to meet this Jerry and fascinate him sufficiently to come between him and her daughter. She goes to a night club and is introduced to Jerry. Many meetings follow. She finds him as attractive as reputed, but possessed of qualities of tenderness and understanding which are not a part of his reputation. Suddenly awakening, she finds herself in love with Jerry, and he with her!
The situation is brought to a climax when mother and daughter, unaware of each other's presence, meet in Jerry's apartment. The husband, aroused to the serious mess he is making of life, renounces Irma, and crashes in on the scene in the apartment. In this dramatic situation, Jerry, a really lovable character, rises to splendid heights, but in the end is unable to patch up the fragments of shattered lives that whirl about him.
Willful, impulsive and fascinating is Clara Bow as Kittens. 4945 feet standard length — on 5 reels Rental $5.00
8158 Code SEKOR The Feast of Ishtar Paramount
Excerpt from "The Wanderer"
Featuring Greta Nissen, William Collier, Jr.,
Ernest Torrence and Wallace Beery
Jether, a gullible country lad, has followed Tisha, bewitchingly beautiful
priestess of the Goddess Ishtar, to her temple in the great city. With his portion
of his father's wealth, he clothes himself in silks and satin, bedecks himself with
priceless jewels and goes to her court, where, in setting of oriental splendor, such
as would shame the most extravagant of present-day princes, he finds Tisha, all
but hidden among the silken drapes of her divan.
Carried off his feet by her great beauty, and half mad with love, he pleads for her favor. Tisha, clothed in beads and flimsy lace, succumbs to his wooing, and there ensues one of the most ardent love scenes ever produced on the silver screen.
