"Beasts of Paradise" Universal Serial Has Plenty of Thrills Reviewed by Mary Kelly Universal's new serial combines the thrills of the sea and the jungle. The first of three episodes, in two reels each, are sufficiently exciting to entertain all serial fans. Each one keeps up a good tempo of fast action and ends with the usual apparently hopeless dilemma, so that the suspense is satisfactory. The loss of a ship's treasure, robbed by a submarine, is the basis for the action. William Desmond plays the hero who starts out to unravel the mystery and takes a voyage to a tropical island, over which a vampire holds control. A fight on board ship is one of the big thrills and a secret passage leading from the vampire's domain to the mined harbor insures an atmosphere of suspense in the second episode. Eileen Sedgwick is cast as an office employee of the hero's father who appears to have a mysterious interest in the fate of the stolen gold. Both she and Desmond arc good types for a picture of action. Others are William Gould as the heavy, William Welsh as the owner of the treasure and Ruth Royce as the vampire. The first episode shows Phillip Grant starting on his voyage after surmounting great obstacles and concludes with him being thrown into the ocean after a terrific fight on board. In the second he is saved by the life preserver which the girl throws to him and gets to the island where he meets the vampire queen, who is holding the girl's father prisoner until he recovers his reason sufficiently to reveal the secret of the hidden wealth. Grant is seized, but escapes with the girl only to have their boat blown up in the harbor. The third episode shows them still trapped on the island, ending with the scene of the typhoon, during which the hero is tied to a slender tree on the edge of a steep embankment. The story was written by Val Cleveland and directed by William Craft. "Frozen Hearts" (Pathe — Comedy — Two Reels) Like his first two-reel comedy for Pathe, this Stan Laurel offering is a burlesque on a feature picture. This one deals with Russia and is said to be a travesty on "Enemies of Women"; however, the story gets far away from the original and from a standpoint of burlesquing that picture is not as successful as "Roughest Africa." The story, however, is treated in broad comedy burlesque style throughout and there are a number of amusing situations. — C. S. S. "Pathe Review 43" (Pathe — Magazine — One Reel) Beautiful cloud effects in tropical skies furnishes the idea for a superbly photographed section. Showing how silk stockings are made will interest the average spectator, both men and women. The color section shows views of the massive falls of the Senegal in Africa, while another section shows a new breed of superb horses developed in Belgium as work horses. — C. S. S. "TheLifeofReilly" ( Hodkinson — Comedy — Two Reels) The husband who is denied the privilege of leading even a dog's life is the subject of this C. C. Burr comedy. The wife's pet poodle is the favored member of the household and her husband has to forfeit everything but hislife; and almost that, for the dog's sake. While the idea is not so new, the action is lively and the comedy would be satisfactory in the average theatre. — M. K. "The Circus" (Pathe — Cartoon — One Reel) Cartoonist Paul Terry takes his gang of animals to a circus thfstime and manages to get a lot of fun and amusement for every type of patron out of their antics. There seems to be no end to the ingenious stunts which he makes his characters perform. Particularly clever are the ruses adopted by the mother cat and the hen to get their "families" in free.— C. S.
