SIMPSON NAYLOR
comedy. Fairbanks is capable of expressing real feeling, but if he keeps up this speed he will run himself to death and catch nothing. An eight-reel feature must have some relation to life as it is. Eight reels of improbabilities is a bit too much to swallow.
EYES OF YOUTH — C. K. Y. PRODUCTION
Marjorie Rambeau created a dramatic furore in the stage version of "Eyes of Youth." Clara Kimball Young does the same thing in her umbrageous translation. Xot since the good old days have we seen Clara so gloriously gowned, so well photographed or so powerfully emotional. I feel that in making the Oriental seer who shows the young heroine what would happen should she choose the path of duty, wealth, fame, or love, a philanthropist who savors of an effort to mimic the altruism of the chink in ''Broken Blossoms" and ''The Miracle Man," the director has made a mistake. For the character is neither subtly nor poetically played and adds nothing to the effectiveness of the picture. Miss Young was most sympathetic as the woman grown old doing her duty, and most gloriously realistic as the opera singer in the fame episode. Her depiction of the drug addict savored simply of theatricalisms and grease-paint. "Eyes of Youth" is a decidedly well produced picture. Every girl cannot help wishing that she, too, might have a crystal in which to see the results of her choice at the "crossroads of life." I found Edmund Lowe good to look upon as the hero and Milton Sills smugly correct in a minor role.
THE GAMBLERS — VTTAGRAPH
This too was once a famous stage play and seems to prove it axiomatic that a good stage play will form an excellent foundation for a photoplay. The plot deals with the misfortunes of a young, rich and lovely girl who mar--oundrel. He is gambling for her money, her mother and sister are gambling for social position and she for happine-s which she at last wins when her husband shuffles off his mortal coil and she can marry their long-known and truly devoted friend. Corinne firi ffith is optically pleasing as the girl and cy Marmont makes a satisfactory hero. Tom Terris has directed splendidly this production, which is quite the best issued from the house of Yitagraph in many a day.
THE VIRTUOUS VAMP — FIRST NATIONAL
A perfectly delightful comedy with a perfectly delightful Constance Talmadge romping away in the role of a girl who just couldn't make her eyes behave. She got a job and then «he (Continued on page
