BULLETIN SERVICE MOVING PICTURE WORLE-CCTCBER 11 AND iS, I919. REVIEWS OF CURRENT PRODUCTIONS The follovring corraT.ents on current prcductions are taken from re- vlevra submitted by memoers of the staff ct the Moving Picture V'orld: BACi: TO GOD'S COUNTRY (Cur37ood->Carver Production, First Nation^;,! Release)—Screen version of Ja-mea Oliver Curwood's story, "Wapi, the Killer," starring Nell Shipn'.an—a rattling good mslodrarr.a of the North- .i/Cvjt, full of novel scenes and e trong ■ sensational effects, excellently acted and contd,ining beautiful scenic features. The picture ^as filmed an the northern part of Alaska and the snow scenes are beautiful. One of the sensations ie the swimming of the heroine down the whirling v^a- ters of dangerous looking rapids. The story is well put together and its inciaents are always dramatic. Comedy is furnished by the antics oi all sorts of wild and tamed animals. Nell Shipman's impersonation of the heroine gains greatly by the skill and nerve she displays in several physical stunts. The picture is alive with the breath of the open and will interest any one with red blood in his veins. V.'EITZEL. THE EGG CRATE WALLOP (Param.ount-Artcraft)—Besides being a good box office asset through the popularity of the star, Charles Ray, this picture provides one of the best prize fight scenes ever put on the screen. The incidents which lead up to this encounter are either de- li^jitfully humorous or entertaining...revelations of the better side of human n-tture, and when Jim Kelly, the boy Nho has taken another mean's crime on his shoulders, lands that celebrated "egg crate wallop" of his on the jaw of his enemy and wins the ^2000 which will save his sweet- heart from pain and her father from prison (as he believes) every one will join in the big yell. The story is by Julian Josephson. Jerome Storn. directed. A good wholesome picture. HARRISON. THE TWIN PAWNS (Perret-?athe) , Sept. 2S—7'ilkie Collins' "The Woman m White" provides a gooa melodramatic vehicle for Llae Murray, unaer the careful direction of Leonce Perret, who alec is the author of the adaptation. The unhappy story has been artistically staged and carries well the atmosphere of the original. Mae Murray is excel- lent in a role of double identity. Wcirnor Gland is powerful as the doer of evil ueeds, J. W. Johnston makes the most of a brief role. The picture, with its mystery and romcince, will please. MaSDONALD. SNARES OF PARIS (Fox)—Madlaine Traverse is the star of this well made melodrama. The story is thoroughly French in theme, but is intensely dramatic, and its direction by Howard M. Mitchell follows the spirit of the scenes. The Apache section of Paris is usea for some of the action and the local color is always convincing. The story moves between"high social life and tha slums. Both degrees of life are authoritatively pictured. The plot hinges on the danger to her happiness hanging over the wife of Emile Goullard when she learng that her husband may discover she has an illegitimate son, a youth who is addicted to strong drink. The father of the boy tries to profit by the secret, but Goullard forgives his wife and helps her reform the boy. Excellently acted. Denison Clift, author. MoELRAVY.
