Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Aug 1919)

MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC OPPORTUNITY MARKET Lyric. — “The Unknown Purple.” Interesting and well sustained thriller. The story of a convict who discovers a way to make himself invisible, transforming into a purple ray, and who starts out to get revenge. The invisible man steals necklaces, opens safes and passes thru doors. Richard Bennett gives a vigorous performance of the human ray. Plymouth. — “Redemption.” John Barrymore at his best in a remarkable piece of acting and a remarkable Tolstoi play. Sad, but big. Republic. — “Where Poppies Bloom.” Melodramatic war play of a woman who discovers that her husband is a Hun spy. Action takes place on the Flanders battle line. Marjorie Rambeau is very emotional in the star role. ON THE ROAD. “Keep Her Smiling.” A typical Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew comedy. Mr. Drew does the cleverest bit of acting of his career, and alas! alack! the screen has probably lost forever one of its brightest stars. Mrs. Drew is more charming and “younger” than ever before. “Fiddlers Three,” lively little operetta with considerable fun and much good music. Louise Groody scores as a captivating little ingenue and dancer, while the lanky Hal Skelly’s humor is amusing. Altogether a likeable entertainment. “Going Up.” A charming musical farce written around an aviator, with Frank Craven in an interesting role. The music is unusually bright and catchy. “The Passing Show of 1918.” One of the best of the Winter Garden shows. Pretty girls and stunning costumes. Among the features are the amusing Howard Brothers ; that lively dancing team, Fred and Adele Astaire; and the laughable Dooley Brothers. “The Copperhead.” One of the big dramatic successes of last winter, by Augustus Thomas. A drama that will live. “The Little Teacher.” A charming play, full of human interest, and played by a company every one of which makes a hit. Mary Ryan is excelknt, as usual, and her support is unusually good. “A Tailor Made Man.” An altogether captivating comedy full of laughs, built around a young tailor who became great thru reading the book of an unsuccessful author and who then hires the latter to work for him. “The Kiss Burglar.” One of the most charming of musical-comedies. Pleasant music, distii^ction of book and considerable humor. Above all the fascinating personality of Fay Bainter. Very pretty chorus. “pii. Lady !_ Lady ! !” Chic musical-comedy. Daintiness, wit, a well-balanced, all-star cast and catchy music are the outstanding charm of this offering intime. “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath.” A roaring farce of the class of “Fair and Warmer,” “Twin Beds” and “Up Stairs and Down,” and about as funny and riacy as any of them. “Flo-Flo.” This glorified burlesque caught Broadway last season. Sprinkle some catchy music between the gags, add a flashing chorus, season well with bold if not risque situations, and flavor with dazzling costumes and you have “Flo-Flo” ready to serve. The stars and support display well-modulated voices and some real honeymoon lingerie. “May time.” A dainty, touching comedy with music. It has a real plot, following the life of a young couple from youth to old age, interspersed with tuneful music and some dancing. “Tiger Rose.” An iptense and very popular drama similar to “The Heart of Wetona,” in which Lenore Ulric plays the part of an Indian maiden who loves and swears charmingly.
