THE Fox Film Corporation has a new novelty in a short subject called "The Unreal News Reel.'' At the Rivoli Theatre, New York, where it was shown for the first time, it went over big. As the title indicates it is a burlesque on the present news reels and has for its slogan "Sees All, Knows Nothing."
With the proper incidental music this new comedy subject should prove a good bet. The first one shows a ship christening that's a riot and a burlesque on a carnival that will not miss fire. There is always room for a good comedy subject and "Unreal News'' should fit in nicely with any program.
"HIS CHILDREN'S CHILDREN" (Paramount) presented with a special cast numbering such well known players as Bebe Daniels, Dorothy Mackaill, James Rennie, George Fawcett and Mahlon Hamilton, is a highly entertaining feature suitable for all classes of theatregoers. It was directed by Sam Wood, and has plenty of exploitation angles to help put it over.
"SIX CYLINDER LOVE" (Fox) is a real special and a credit to director Elmer Clifton. It was adapted from the popular stage success in which Ernest Truex starred for several seasons. Truex repeats his excellent performance in the screen version. A clean, wholesome picture.
'THE LIGHT THAT FAILED" (Paramount) adapted from Kipling's famous story is a little slow in the beginning but once it gets started it goes forward with compelling directness. It is very well acted by a
fine cast of players including Jacqueline Logan, Percy Marmont, David Torrence and others.
"FOOLISH PARENTS" (Associated Exhibitors) is another foreign made production with a trivial story, but fairly well acted. It is the old, old story of the parents who neglect their child, but when misfortune separates them they come to realize their duty toward him and are reunited. A Pollyanna finish makes everybody happy.

"THE THRILL CHASER" (Universal) is a lively and interesting trip through Universal City with Hoot Gibson. It shows King Baggot, Hobart Henley, Edward Sedgwick and others at work and has a pleasing story woven through it. It was written and directed by Sedgwick.
"THE LEAVENWORTH CASE" (Vitagraph) adapted from Anna Katherine Green's popular mystery tale, makes acceptable screen entertainment and although the climax is quite obvious because of the familiarity of the story, it is well acted and well directed % for the most part. As a detective tale it should draw those interested in mystery dramas.
"THE WAY MEN LOVE" (Grand Asher) is one of the best offerings on the state right market. It has a pleasing love story plenty of suspense and is very well acted throughout. This eight-reel feature was written by Adam Hull Shirk and directed by R. William Neil both of whom have done good work.
