Ince Komedy). — An exceptionally funny and well done comedy. Thruout the entire play there is a mix-up. Fay Tincher and Eddie Dillon were very good. There are some big laughs in this play. L. C. "Poor Little Peppina" (Famous Players).— Seven reels of Mary Pickford, but not at her best. As an Italian street gamin (she is a boy thruout the major part of the play) her characterization was superb, and there are more than the usual number of chances for the inimitable Pickford contrast of humor and pathos. The locations, supposedly in Italy, were picturesque and often beautiful. The play charms rather than thrills. Jack Pickford in support of his sister makes a convincing Italian brother. Realism is added by the casting of several real Italians in important roles, and those specially deserving mention are Ernest Torti, who plays Peppina's foster-father, and Mrs. A. Maori, as her foster-mother. L. C. "An Innocent Magdalene" (TriangleFine Arts). — It seems that Lillian Gish wouldn't be happy unless she portrayed some old-fashioned part. To the critic's mind this story tries to make a rather impossible character, possible. The theme, briefly, is that "Pride goeth before a fall" — and the descent is hard. From the standpoint of direction, photography, etc., the play is up to the usual standard. R. E. B. "The Whirl of Life" (Celebrated Players).— Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle have given us good entertainment in their new picture. There is not much of a plot, but it isn't really necessary, as Vernon and Irene have frequent opportunity for their dancing, which will satisfy any audience. The celebrated pair seem to take their film adventure as a great lark, and Vernon frequently refers to his noble physique, to the vast amusement of his partner. He engages in a grand rough-and-tumble fight with a half-dozen ruffians and vanquishes them all, altho the Castle blows displayed Avould hardly dent the proverbial pat of butter. Some beach scenes are shown, with the Castles in bathing garb, revealing a quartet of bare and amazingly thin legs. A good picture, with the Castles a power ful magnet. F. D. M.
