Comment on Other Productions {Continued from page 108) he might have been reading Tarkington's "Conquest of Canaan," which is somewhat similar of theme. However, it contains all the customary ingredients with "sweetness and light" partially eclipsed by black shadows of hokum. It is far removed from life. The Wild Party Just what the sponsors saw in this mild, little cream-puff of a story for a picture is difficult to determine. Episodic and brittle, it has tough sledding keeping alive. A story of a girl reporter assigned to cover some society-steppers with the usual results — getting the wrong identities and finding herself the innocent victim of a raid by revenuers. We have scenes of Gladys Walton at the indoor bathing pool — and parked in a barn where she has found shelter from the storm. Not a semblance of head nor tail to it — and it is further spoiled by some awfully bad comedy relief — engineered by a rustic bootlegger. Burlesque should have been the treatment here — and Mack Sennett should have been the doctor. The Social Code Seasons come and go, film companies prosper or bust, Notre Dame keeps on beating West Point, the Giants finally lose a World Series, but count that day lost when Viola Dana doesn't appear as a society butterfly. Her newest essay places her in her favorite role, but she ceases her irresponsible antics when her lover is about to be sentenced to the electric chair. Nothing new or novel eNposed here. As usual the youth must needs perform a great service of self-sacrifice — thus making himself a theatric figure. He refuses to prove an alibi, in order to protect the girl's married sister from a trivial indiscretion committed before her marriage, to the judge in whose courtroom the case is under trial. We award him the iron halo. When the erstwhile butterfly assumes the responsibility for her sister's trifling sin, the picture is over — and the electric chair is cheated. There is a tone and quality to the production which gives it a certain value — but it isn't an achievement in the annals of screen literature. Times Have Chanced Times haven't changed for William Russell, if one may judge by this number. It seems to be his misfortune to carry the Fox cross on his shoulders and we find him burdened with a moth-eaten tale revolving around a young married couple which features a husband leaving the domestic menage for the city and becoming complicated in a mild flirtation. The village gossips start their evil rumors — and wifey's relatives are somewhat to blame in their effort to control affairs in her home. Not a good situation in the picture, We dismiss it as poor entertainment. *M°SK'SIU"R * um ^>.
