Price $85 The Celluloid Critic ( Continued from page 94) fits every scene. The youngsters leave their sordid city environment to find a haven which spells home and mother. They arrive, but they do not conquer until the religion of human understanding penetrates into the rigid soul of the unyielding spinster. The boy brings vivid memories to the woman — memories of a sister who died in sin. And so she slowly but surely relents. A simple tale, isn't it? Yet it does not carry any false sentiment. You will recognize the characters. They are real, particularly the spinster played by Marie Day. If you live in the country, you will agree with us that she lives just around the bend of the road. A likable youngster is little Joseph Depew. He is never conscious of the camera. That other youngster, Wesley Barry, has in “Rags to Riches” (Warner Bros.) an entertaining little piece — one which carries plenty of fun, a dash of romance, and some melodramatic high jinks done to the tune of rural hokum. It’s a picture of quality and so compact with interesting elements that the youngsters may take their elders without the grownups looking upon it with patronizing eyes. Wes of the freckles hasn’t reached that stage where he must roll his own hoop. There is plenty of opportunity for all in this tale of a much pampered son who, tired of being coddled by an indulgent mother, runs away with a burglar and becomes a regular he-boy. You will laugh over the scene which shows the youngster reading “Diamond Dick” behind his music lesson. You will be amused with several other scenes too. If you become provoked with the rural touches, at least they are there to provide compensation and lift the storv from the juvenile class. The title writer is especially deserving of tribute, for he has caught the true perspective of youth. He apparently thinks in terms of his own boyhood — with the result that he hasn’t made an error with a figure of speech. Wesley is famous for his freckles. Since lie plays a poor little rich boy, it would never do to have him look like a speckled trout. Consequently his face is covered with an extra heavy coating of make-up — the freckles only appearing when the sun has kissed him in the country. The closing chapters have to do with hunting the boy, arranging a romance and capturing some crooks: A bright little number certain to interest you. Cecil B. de Mille has declared himself anothef holiday. This director has his happiest moments when he stages a riotous scene. Here he goes back to the erring Caesars to depict Rome falling thru love for lust — his idea being to show a comparison with the modern era when “excitement eaters” are bringing madness to the world in their search for pep and pleasure. If he had arranged Alice Duer Miller’s story “Manslaughter” ( Continued on page 98) e r t The Waterproof Rouge Pertly colored, lasts all day A SMART new rouge in a ** fresh orange tint that is youthful and gay and piquant.
