Motion Picture Classic (1923, 1924, 1926)

Wlonl understand how Charles tie Roche was lected to pla) the role of .1 faun in " Hie Man \l aker" 1 Paramount ), but tlierc he is pre 9enting a physique not unlike Firpo's in a pantomimic sketch which would have better suited that master pantomimist, < iei n ge Vrliss. The Frenchman is younger and athletic — which are liis only qualifications I (therwise his study lacks imagery and deft shading. He bounds all over the place t\\ ice ap pearing in a tiger -kin and changing 1.1 evening clothes while he attempts lo place .1 house in order. Phere is sparkle to t Ik picture. \ sin track storj which drags. Tl I E Silent Command" I Fox 1 would have scored a complete knock-out during the frenzied day of the war. The hysterical public would have scaled the heights of patriotism. As it i the idea is a little belated tin > it does serve as propaganda for Seeing the World, the naval slogan Call it deep-dyed melodrama if you will, it doe glorify the American navy and it doc cany a punch — even tint that punch comes from an old-fashioned school estabbshed by Lincoln J. Carter, el al. Revealed in the turbulent action are a heavy storm, a clashing fight, a wreck, and a column of marines storming the rendezvous of the enemy. The climax is a long time coming to a head because of the plotting and counterplotting. The best hires? The storm effects, the flashes of the fleet and marine scenes. THEY ask for tear in "Man and Wife" (Arrow) only and succeed in extracting laughs. Two sisters, farm-girls, marry the same man. One of the girls runs away from the farm, marries a city surgeon and i supposed to die in a fire — during his absence. He returns home — and instead of investigating the tragedy, conveniently retire to the very farmhouse from which his wife made her escape, courts and marries her sister within a period of -ix month-! And neither one has spoken of the departed relative, nor consulted the family album. Bui stay — the despicable villain informs the surgeon that his wife isn't dead. but on the contrary is alive, tbo hopelessly insane. So he operates, restoring her sanity. X'ot for long, however, for she is told by the same d. v. that her husband i a bigamist and she goes mad again. A second operation brings the undertaker. She had to be eliminated for the sake of the second wife's unborn child. This weird contraption defies logic and insults intelligence.
