THE MAN FROM BLANKLEY’S. John Barrymore. Adapted from the play by F. Anstey. Directed by Alfred E. Green. Warner Bros.
Mr. Barrymore as a slightly inebriated English Lord at the wrong dinner table under the most ridiculous circumstances, clowns inimitably through a delightful and unique comedy. If the other characters in the mid-Victorian setting appear somewhat too exaggerated to seem entirely real, we may perhaps lay it to the necessity of shortening the original play, so that we cannot get acquainted with their human peculiarities. Like characters from Dickens they are deliciously comic. The production is a decided novelty which should not be missed.

SAFETY IN NUMBERS. Charles “Buddy” Rogers. Direction by Victor Schertzinger. Paramount.
A young orphan who is to inherit an enormous fortune is sent to New York for an “education” in the ways of the world. Perhaps the greatest fault with the picture is the uncertainty of the audience as to whether it is intended to be farce, comedy, musical comedy or burlesque. The theme had inherent possibilities which are disappointingly minimized in an effort to be ultra modem and conspicuously “smart”. The result is not entertaining.
