The Moving picture world (Oct - Nov 1919)

Page Eight A YELLOTT DOG CATCHFR (Fox).-- One of t :.s fa-stest moving and f\jni- est Sunshine comedies produced by Fox, this ons-reeler has a lot of original business for the t;70 and also the four legged actors. The collection of dogs and a trained goat that butts in for good measure keep the regular actors of the cast on the j'Ump and land many laughs. Nothing human can .vithstand the hurcor of this picture. WEITZEL. HUMAN DESIRE (First National).-- Written by Violet Ir.vimand di- rected by Wilfred North, this five-part picture has Anita Ste^vart for the star. It is the story of a convent reared Italian girl who is born .vith a great love for neglected babies. She comes to America, is used as a model by a painter and falls in love with him. He is already married, but lives -an'hj.ppiiy viith his v?ife. The .uodel's innocence leads her into serious danger, but she marries the painter after his <Tife is killed in an accident. The story is not above the ordinary, but it .vill please .io.Len and children. It has the benefit of the star's appealing fitness, for such a part and the help of. g,ood direct- ion and a .veil chosen supporting cast. WEITZEL. CRiySOM SHO'iLS (Moncpol).— "Crimson Snoals", a melodramatic pro- duction starring Francis Ford and produced by the Mcnopol Pictures for state right release, is a novelty picture. Triple exposure has been introduced into this feature and this alone should serve to put it over. Many vjill marvel -jhen they see the star appear as the grand- father, father =uid son in one scene and converse one .Jith another. T.vie story is about an uncharted island in the Pacific .vnich is rich in coral. Some of the produce of the island is continually being missed. The usual happy ending is reached after a most spectacular free-for-all fight bet.*een several thugs and the hsro and his assist- ants. Had Francis Ford, ivho does creditable .»ork in the picture, made his make-up mere diversified, it .jould have been much easier for tne spectator to folio*? the characters. This production -vill go in most houses where the audiences are not cvercritical. HOOSE. ^H'\T EVERY -VO-iAN LEARNS (Fara.r.ount-Artcraft) .--Enid Bennett is very effective in a drama cf domestic tragedy, a story of a dissipated husband's attea.pt at malignant vengeance on a supposed rival. The husband has been thrashed in the office of his supposed rival and re- taliates .vitQ fiendish ingenuity. He senas a plnon3 call for help, supposedly tne butler speaking, and lures the rival to the house, even to his .vife's bedroo.L, .vhere he snoots him do.m in cold blood. By .'vay of vengeance on hid wife, he calls up a daily paper and gives zhe ne^va that he has shot a man found in his life's bedroom. In an insane moment she stops him vvith a bullet tr.at iz fatal, but tnc supposed rival recovers and she is acquitted. HARRISON. ALL ^T SEA (Rathe).-- A lively farce comedy of incident grouped around the antics of Harry Pollari. In the guise of a sailor he is bragging cf his exploits to some shapely batning girls, vvhen they are carried off by pirates. Considerable mechanical ingenuity is sno<<n as well as some shapely forms of the bathers. HARRISON. TaE 'MYSTERY OF THE YFLLO"' ROO'i (Realart).-- An Emile Chautard feature produced by i\^ayflc./er and derived from a .videly-read mystery novel by*Gaston Leroux. Tnis interesting detective story has an un- e.xpected en.ling. It is visual:.2.ed capably. The mystery relates to a murderous attack on a girl in the Yellow Room. Her cries call ner father to the only door locked on h^r side. When he finally breaks in and finds her nearly dead her assailant has escaped, tnough the only ivmdofl is heavily barred and tnere are no axits. A good attraction and calculated to hold the spectator's attention closely. HARRISON. .'."'IKING GOOD WITH MOTHER (La.'irence Groasmith) .-- A snort and amus- ing comedy of the Grcssmitii type, ^ith the lead in the role of a stu- pid, good-natured and -vealthy young man on a -ieek-end visit to the family of his fiancee. He is popular In spite of his absent-minded- ness ani mishaos, but ne gets into a predicament by retiring early in the wrong bedroom, t nat of a young sooi-ity vd,n.p. The story follcia t ae neJli.<^ee idea no^ in vcs^wj in 5rcad.*a,^ otage comedies. HARRISON. BULLiN' TRT: 8'JLLSHEVIKI (Eff and Eff).-- There is every evidence toat no expense has been spared in the raakirxg of tne four-part burles- que "Bullm' tnt Sullshsviki." Frank P. Donovan has written and di- rected til- production; and ..hile he has .::ade a commendable effort to convert nis" tneme into an amuBing burlesque he occasionally fails to arrive at tte intended comedy. I^arguerite Clayton is the featured -ember o^ th- cast. She appears on the scene in the to.vn of Killemoff "-^earinF a suave smile but hiding a ferocious determination to steal from Tfoitsky certain i.-.pcrtant papers. Tne average audience .ould find aany things in tnis production highly amusing. LiacDONA PRTTZTi'T CARVING (Fox,.-- A )iott and Jeff Animated, d^pictm^, of Bud Eisner's ..limaical ideas.
