Motion Picture Magazine (Feb-Jul 1920)

OTION PICTURE Banish HI AS discordant as a costume of pink and orange, or as a precious jewel set in a tarnished mounting, is a youthful, piquant face framed In gray, faded hair. Inattention to this important detail of the toilette is responsible for the failures of many women of otherwise impeccable appearance to win recognition in society or advancement in the professions or in business. Gray, mottled or streaked hair may not be any more readily condoned than soiled linen or a shiny nose. To be well groomed the hair must be neatly coiffed and any gray spots or streaks must be tinted. BROWNATONE Absolutely harmless ana instant jn its results is the BROWNATONE method for restoring to faded, gray hair all its pristine beauty and exact original color — any shade from golden to black. \Send 11 cents \forilTalJ}onie booklet hair.

A stirring, romantic melodrama of the days of the First Consulate in France ; tense, colorful and highly interesting. One of the best evening's entertainments in New York. Mr. Ditrichstein is delightful as the royalist brigand, the Purple Mask ; Brandon Tynan is admirable as the republican police agent, Brisquet ; Lily Cahill is a charming heroine, and Boots Wooster makes her bit of a peasant girl stand out. "The Blue Flame," with Theda Bara. A lurid melodrama with the famous Theda in the dual role of an ingenue with and without a soul. It is breaking box-office records, proving that every one wants to see Miss Bara "in person." "Apple Blossoms." — The ambitious and much-heralded operetta of Fritz Kreisler and Victor Jacobi plus colorful Joseph Urban settings. An' offering far above the musical average. John Charles Thomas sings admirably, Wilda Bennett is an attractive heroine and Florence Shirley lends a piquant personality to the proceedings. "My Golden Girl." — A passable musical entertainment with a score by Victor Herbert. A chorus girl, Jeannette Dietrich, scores the hit of the show. "Mamma's Affair." — Rachel Butler's admirably written comedy — a study of that deadly human specie, the hypochondriac who fancies herself suffering from all sorts of ills. Done with distinction and fine discernment. Ida St. Leon scores and important members of the cast are : Effie Shannon, Robert Edeson, Katherine Kaelred and George Le Guerre. "The Little Whopper." — Lively and amusing musical comedy with tuneful score by Rudolf Friml. Vivienne Segal pleasantly heads the cast, which also, numbers Harry C Browne, who does excellent work, Mildred Richardson and W. J. Ferguson. "The Cat Bird," with John Drew. A leisurely little play by Rupert Hughes, dealing with an elderly ecologist who straightens out the romances of several people according to the principles derived from his studies among the flowers and insects. Mr. Drew returns to the New York stage after two -years as the ecologist. A suave evening's amusement. "Wedding Bells." — A bright and highly amusing comedy by Salisbury Field. Admirably written and charmingly played by Margaret Lawrence and Wallace Eddinger. One of the things you should sec. "Aphrodite." — Highly colored and lavish presentation of a drama based upon Pierre Louys' exotic novel of ancient Alexandria. Superbly staged adaptation of the play that caused a sensation in Paris. Dorothy Dalton, the screen star, returns to the stage in the principal role of the Galilean courtesan, Chrysis, and scores. McKay Morris is admirable in the principal male role. "The Frivolities of 1920." — G. M. (Broncho Billy) Anderson's girl revue. Lively, speedy musical show with a large measure of vulgarity, but pretty girls. "The Royal Vagabond." — A Cohanized opera comique in every sense of the words. A tuneful operetta plus Cohan speed, pep and brash American humor. Also tinkling music. "The Girl in the Limousine." — A daring boudoir farce by Wilson Collison and Avery Hopwood, in which a pink and white' bed is invaded by every member of the cast during the progress of the evening. John Cumberland is very funny and Doris Kenyon, fresh from the screen, is both pretty and pleasant as the heroine. w '^ — back to the Good Old Card Game What with the war over, the little old bonds tucked safely away in the tin box, the boys home, and the Bolsheviki on the run, isn't it time we got back to normal and proceeded to enjoy life in a useful, healthy, good old-fashioned way?
