While Others Danced She Decorated the Wall A weed in a garden of roses, is Idalene Nobbin, a wist- ful figure, awkward and pigeon-toed* We laugh at her sad attempts at the toddle, but we are moved at the cruelty of youth which makes her the butt of practical joking. Young love and the sensitive- ness of the wall flower is the theme of Rupert Hughes' latest original photoplay, a mirth-making pantomime, treated, however, with gentle sympathy. Mr. Hughes says of it, "The world is full of girls who are crushed with lack of encouragement at home and who need only to be flooded with sunshine and praise and taught a little grace and self-confidence. The Wall Flower is the story of such a homely thing and of her swift blooming when her desperation threw her by chance among strangers who were kind to her. It is a love story, of course, but of more than one kind of love." Colleen Moore gives a splendid performance in this exceptional picture, which the author chose to direct himself. written cirtd directed Idtj RUPERT HUGHES
