NATIONAL HAIR GOODS CO. 368 Sixth Ave., Dept. 312, New York ARTIFICIAL C 1 .50 EYELASHES *** x Pr The Celluloid Critic ( Continued from page 46) unnecessary incident. The human interest will conquer you. And as the director, the author has used the utmost discretion. He is to be commended for what he has wisely left out as for what he put into this drama. ‘‘Remembrance” will tug at the heart. Doubtless many of the younger degeneration will stop calling dad, the “old man” after seeing it. And this isn’t to say that they should begin calling mother the “old lady” now that she has temporarily retired while “pop” brings home the bacon to Goldwyn and Hughes. The only unsatisfactory note connected with “The Man Who Played God” (Distinctive) is that George Arliss is unable to step forth from the silversheet and receive the plaudits of his audience. He makes his work so real that you unconsciously animate him with life. As John Arden, the famous musician who loses his hearing and becomes a hypochondriac, only to be made into a different man again — one thoroly happy and contented — because of the joy he gets in helping unfortunates, Mr. Arliss gives us a characterization of wondrous appeal. There is a little sermon here for all of us, tho we are not lectured at all. Perhaps some of you saw Otis Skinner in the stage version of the picture, “The Silent Voice.” The screen version is every bit as good. Mr. Arliss sees to that. Here is no strutting puppet, but a true pantomimist who co-ordinates every gesture — every expression with the thoughts which are coursing thru his mind. You become transported. You forget time and environment in watching this intensely interesting theme so excellently treated. The deaf musician renounces God and decides to take his own life. Then the great light comes to him. He studies lip reading and ascertains what is troubling other unfortunates. And in helping others he forgets his own misfortune. The picture deserves to be ranked with the fewer and better things. You will appreciate that it occasionally pays to take a story which carries a meaning. You will appreciate George Arliss’ art and the admirable performance by Ann Forrest. Another sentimental heart tug is felt in the screen version of Kate Douglas Wiggin’s story, “Timothy’s Quest” (American Releasing). It’s a homespun tale overflowing with pathos and kindly humor — one faithful to its people and environment. Nothing is amiss here. The pages of the book are opened and the tiny youngsters step forth. And keeping them company are the three spinsters, admirably limned by Marie Day, Margaret Seddon and Vivia Ogden. Look at this picture and see charming rusticity — the white frame house, the milk cans on the side porch, the rag carpet and antiques in the sitting-room. It’s a “back home” movement that Sydney Olcott, the director, has inaugurated here.
