MOTION PICTURE MAGAZlXli PHOTOPLAY REVIEWS "Gloria's Romance" (Kleine) is only mildly interesting thus far, tho every one must admire piquant Billie Burke with her radiant beauty and her marvelous frocks. One feels that Mr. Henry Kolker is not happily cast as the hero. Dr. Royce; sterling actor tho he is. the part is not altogether congenial. Mr. YV '. T. Carleton, the heavy father, is admirable. In chapters five and six Miss Burke appears in her famous lace "nightie," which, according to her veracious press-agent, cost one hundred and fifty dollars. Well, perhaps it did; but it's a lot for so little. F. D. Mi "The Half Breed" (Triangle-Fine Arts). — A careful and appreciative picturization of a familiar Bret Harte story. Its locale is in the majestic redwood forests in the pioneer days of California. Douglas Fairbanks, as Lo Dorman, the half-breed Indian, plays his part superbly. He is called upon to show great strength, bravery, manliness, physical fitness, and pride and shame. "Deerslayer" is not a nobler character, nor better drawn nor interpreted. The work of Alma Reuben, as Theresa, a woman of the dance-halls, is an excellent piece of acting. For lovers of a genuine romance "The Half Breed" will do much to enhance the Fairbanks' reputation. E. M. L. "The Vagabond" (Mutual). — Charlie Chaplin as of old, with a leaven of serious acting that is very well done. In the role of an itinerant violinist who does some agile anticj in competition with a German street-band, and who follows it with a series of love misadventures in a gypsy camp, Chaplin rises to the heights of David Warfield in the stage classic, "The Music Master." Almost a comedy-drama, in which heart interest mixes well with broad farce. Edna Purviance, as the "stolen child," is an excellent support. Our short story varies somewhat from the picture, as Chaplin is given to improvising much of his plot, and the film has been cut considerably. E. M. L. "A Modern Cinderella" (Pathe). — The cleverest scheme to show fashion that has yet been devised. Well done, and it will be a winner for the women-folks.
