PAINTED PEOPLE— First National
COLLEEN MOORE, single handed, lifts this picture from mediocrity. 1'lu story of a girl from the wrong side of town who through sheer hard work and grit — beI'onu's a real somebody upon the stage. As a child she is delicious — as a Bapper she is even more so. Except for an artistic bit, done in silhouette against a pair of lighted windows. Colleen is the whole picture.
TWO WAGONS— BOTH COVERED— Pathe
A BURLESQUE on the "greatest motion picture of America" by the inimitable Will Rogers, who plays the double role of the ScotU and Bill Bunion. He gives a good caricature of the part that Ernest Torrence made famous, and in the J. Warren Kerrigan role he is superb. Not screamingly funny. But individual touches make it a joy — especially if you have seen "The Covered Wagon."
NELLIE, THE BEAUTIFUL CLOAK MODEL— Goldwyn
THIS picture is done in the only way possible, in the form of a play. You view it, not as the audience, but with the audience. In this way the incongruities seem delightful, even whimsical. The story — of a child heiress stolen by her father's double, and later nearly murdered by her cousin — is too impossible to be treated seriously. Done with deft humor, it contains a series of punches!
THE YANKEE CONSUL— Associated Exhibitors
DOUGLAS MacLEAN is beginning to be, to the screen, what George Cohan is to the stage. He might be called an all-American comedian. This picture, adapted from the musical comedy of the same name, tells the story of a practical joke, involving a girl and a treasure chest, which is practiced upon a young Yankee in a strange land. He takes it all quite seriously, with uproarious results.
FLAMING BARRIERS— Paramount
A COMEDY of small town life and an inventor who has a fire truck on his hands — and nothing to do with it. Until a note of tragedy sweeps in, with a forest fire, and gives the truck a chance. The cast is practically all star and Jacqueline Logan, as the inventor's daughter Jerry, is prettier than ever. George Melford handles the fire skilfully — it never seems too spectacular.
DADDIES— Warner Brothers
A BACHELORS' club — made up of four hardy woman haters — plans to do its duty by society by the adoption of war orphans. The complications that arise are never unexpected, but they give everybody a good time. The oldest of the orphans is Mae Marsh — she and Harry Myers make a charming couple. The oldest bachelor is Claude Gillingwater. Of course the club disbands, [cont'd on page 102]
