TEMPTATION. Lois Wilson, Lawrence Gray. Columbia.
The story of a weakling who broke his parole from the penitentiary. Love presumably assures complete reform when he will be released after paying the penalty.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. No.
RECAPTURED LOVE. Belle Bennett, John Haliday. Direction by John Adolphi. Warner Brothers.
This is an entertaining triangle drama for more or less sophisticated audiences.

SHE’S MY WEAKNESS. Arthur Lake, Sue Carrol. Based on play “Tommy” by Howard Lindsay and Bertrand Robinson. Direction by Melville Brown. R.K.O.

THE UNHOLY THREE. Lon Chaney, Lila Lee. Direction by Jack Conway. M.G.M.

WAY OUT WEST. William Haines. Direction by Fred Niblo. M.G.M.
William Haines presents his usual characterization of swaggering, impudent youth who thru love of a girl becomes less objectionable and more worth while. The setting is Western, for the hero after cheating some cowboys on a crooked roulette wheel is forced to go to Arizona with them in order to earn the money with which to pay them back. It is reasonably entertaining but lacks novelty.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Passable but not Passable but
recommended. not recommended.

WHITE CARGO. Leslie Faber. Adapted from stage play. Direction by L. B. Williams. British Production.
A well acted and faithful presentation of the stage play which shows the apparent helplessness of the Anglo-Saxon to cope with the disintegrating forces of the tropical African jungle, regardless of his character, ability or training. It is a depressing story.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Very unwholesome. No.
