" Mothers-in-Law — PreferredGrand Central Theater, St. Louis (Special to THE FILM DAILY) St. Louis — Newspaper opinions on "Mothers-in-Law" at the Grand Central follow: — GLOBEDEMOCRAT— The photoplay on the bill, overshadowed by the stage attraction but nevertheless fine screen entertainment, is "Mothers-in-Law," featuring Ruth Clifford, Gaston Glass and Edith Yorke. It is a "jazz" picture with a theme that proves that mothers-in-law are only mothers after all. P O S T-D ISPATCH — The picture, ".Mothers-in-Law," is a story that starts and ends on the farm with an interlude in the "big city." * * * There is a tense scene in which the young wife agrees to elope with her "set." * The young husband's mother, admirably portrayed by Edith Yorke. * * * Ruth Clifford and Gaston Glass are well east as the newly-weds. STAR — "Mothers-in-Law" introduces Edith Yorke as a jitney driving, whip-wielding mother-in-law, who is the whole show in the domestic affairs of the silky Ruth Clifford and impeccable Gaston Glass. By her novelty strong arm methods, she squares a triangle. Bushman-Bayne Going Abroad Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne may repeat their personal appearance with "Moaern Marriage" abroad. Jake Wilk is now in Paris working out details. Bert Adler, acting for Film Traders, Inc. has purchased the entire foreign rights to "Modern Marriage" and is co-operating with Wilk in the plan to send the stars over.
