ACFIELD, Foot Specialties Dept. 172 1328 Broadway New York The Exiles A turbulent story, this — one which has been produced to keep the imagination on the qui z'k'e, but which fails because of its dime-novel pretensions. To begin with, there is introduced a far-fetched mystery element — with an innocent girl involved in the law to such an extent that she dashes off to Tangiers — to become an exile. Which inspires the prosecuting attorney to follow — to make amends. And he succeeds after scenes that are the last word in rushing melodramatic hokum. There is conflict of the usual order — and a pursuit over the hot sands. It offers glaring errors of omission and commission. The picture is played in frantic manner — in keeping with its knockabout action. The Printer's Devil Hokum in its wildest form is dished up in this creaking story — which carries a production comparable to those made in the days of three-reelers — and that is many years ago. Wesley Barry has lost his ability to charm the screengoer. He cannot capitalize his freckles any more — because there are a half dozen youngsters (not as yet in long trousers), who carry inore iron in their system. Mickey Daniels for example. Barry isn't old enough for rornance — and he has exhausted the tricks which appealed before lie stepped into adolescence. He is very camera-conscious now. The plot? The old bunk of the village newspaper's being put over on a country simpleton who starts in to make a success of it. He is assisted by the "printer's devil," a type long since passed out of the picture except in remote hamlets. Harry Myers tries hard — very, very hard to inject some comedy. But the creaking and absurd plot is against him. There isn't a convincing note in it. The staging is bad — and the acting, aside from Myers, mediocre. His Mystery Girl Making over a woman-hater is the idea behind this picture — which for purposes of action and suspense is treated with a vein of mystery. So frenzied is the plot that one wonders why it was crammed with so much incident in view of its obvious elements. The theme might have touched the high spots had it been developed along farcical lines. Instead it is treated seriously — with emphasis placed upon rushing action. Consequently the players are never at ease. A woman-hater stumbles upon a jazz party and becomes shocked — so much so, that his irresponsible brother takes it upon himself to make his relative over. The girl, selected, leads him a merry chase — leads him squarely to the altar — but before the thing is over, there is shown considerable rushing of the characters. Herbert Rawlinson, a nervous actor, is right in his element here. There is no need of poise in such a harum-scaruiu piece. Her Temporary Husband Wholly irresponsible in its plot, but thoroly enjoyable because it does not try to balance its high jinks with false and irrelevant dramatic threads, this picture comes as a welcome reli'ef in a month of attractions which have been fashioned along serious lines. There is not enough fun in our screen entertainment. And comedy or farce can be made just as effective as the visualizations of life's serious platitudes. This number begins as a conventional light comedy, but develops into a most boisterous farce ^ one capitalizing the hokum attached to exaggerated chivalry. flr:,Mt)TiON PICTURR inel I ^aA6AZINE h This Habit Insures sweet breath Countless dainty people carry May Breath tablets with them.
