November 4, 1922 EXHIBITORS HERALD 61 GLADYS WALTON IN THE LAVENDER BATH LADY (UNIVERSAL) The story of a shop girl who longed for pretty clothes and lavender baths and how she got them. Not very original but lively action and a slight mystery element keeps your attention. Directed by King Baggott. Five reels. Fate plays a very important part in this latest Gladys Walton vehicle. You are warned of this in an early subtitle which says: "Fate hovered at the foot of her bed wide-eyed and alert," and it is Fate that leads her onto a roof to dance to the tune of a $15 phonograph and later into the home of wealthy people who adopt her. It is a typical Walton production, with all the Walton touches, and the conventional ending. The little star shines in these roles and effective support is rendered by Charlotte Pierce, Edward Burns and others. Photographically it is an excellent piece of work and the direction is up to the usual Baggott standard. A little shop girl dreams of having servants and many beautiful clothes. She is discovered dancing on a tar roof by a wealthy family and the daughter wishes to bring her in. Later she discovers burglars entering the home and following them frustrates their efforts to rob the safe. The wealthy family takes her to their country home, and while she is enjoying her new-found comforts, again saves the family a loss by calling the police when she discovers a plot to rob the home. The detective in the case falls in love with the little shop girl and marries her. WEDDING PUMPS (UNIVERSAL) Fred Hibbard directed this laughable two-reeler in which a canine carries off the acting honors. He is given able assistance by Jackie Morgan, a finelooking little chap and one that shows wonderful possibilities if properly directed. Jackie and his dog assist in a shoe store, waiting on customers and afterwards deliver the day's sales. At a home where a wedding is in progress, the dog retrieves the groom's lost collar button and later intercepts a note he is passing to a former sweetheart. The bride gets the note and the wedding trip is off. The dog and the youngster finish the cake and good things and the next morning pay for their rich repast — in castor oil. H • «if ■ iu ii i ibJ Rothack^r-AUer Laboratories. Inc. Hollytfood, California It costs the exhibitor no more to enjoy the screen insurance given by Rothacker Prints than it does to show an ordinary print which may have cost less to make and buy but which represents no saving to the renter. Rothacker Prints are the result of years of scientific laboratory experiments directed to the one end of producing screen brilliancy to the full extent of the negative. Insist upon Rothacker Prints.
