[ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 ] FLAMING YOUTH— First National— A sophisticated ultra-jazz picture, with Colleen Moore doing about the best acting of her career. (January.) FLAPPER WIVES— Selznick.— The faith-healing theme, with nothing new in the story. Fair. (June.) FLOWING GOLD— First National.— Rex Beach melodrama of the oil fields, full of excitement and thrills. Film entertainment for everyone. (May.) FOOLISH PARENTS— Associated Exhibitors.— The moral of this is that marriage is a great institution and should be in every family. (January.) FOOL'S AWAKENING, A— Metro.— Proves that happiness can't be built on a lie. A picture of the better class. (April.) FOOL'S HIGHWAY— Universal.— A story of the Bowery, excellently done. Characters well drawn and piayed, with Mary Philbin heading the list. Good entertainment. (May.) FORBIDDEN LOVER, THE — Selznick. — A "thriller" of the early Spanish days in California with the usual ingredients. (January.) GALLOPING ACE, THE— Universal.— A Jack Hoxie Western, with Jack doing some of his best riding and heroic deeds. (June.) GALLOPING FISH, THE— First National.— Trained seal supported by Louise Fazenda and Sydney Chaplin. Slapstick, but funny. (June.) GALLOPING GALLAGHER— F. B. O— An amateurish Western, Fred Thomson being the redeeming feature. Comedy is awful. (June.) GAMBLING WIVES— Arrow.— An amazing conglomeration of fast house parties, cabarets and gambling rooms. Just usual. (June.) GIRL SHY— Pathe.— All the laughs and all the thrills that one expects in a Harold Lloyd picture. Fun fast and furious from start. (June.) GOVERNOR'S LADY, THE— Fox— A most appealing picture, at times touching greatness. Pathos well done. (March.) GREAT WHITE WAY, THE— Cosmopolitan.— Well worth the money. A personally conducted tour of New York, well acted. (March.) GRIT — Hodkinson. — Glenn Hunter in a play of gangsters and the underworld. Not new, but fairly interesting. (March.) IIALF-A-DOLLAR BILL— Metro.— Interesting and well played story of waif adopted by a sea captain. (February.) HAPPINESS — Metro. — A very thin story, adapted from J. Hartley Manners' play, with Laurette Taylor as the saving grace. For the family. (May.) HEART BANDIT. THE— Metro.— Viola Dana is good as a tough little crook who is later redeemed by mother love. (March.) HELD TO ANSWER— Metro.— A formula picture, featuring a wrongfully-accused minister. (Jan.) HER REPUTATION— First National.— A flood, a forest fire and a persecuted heroine, all good. Plenty of thrills. (March.) HER TEMPORARY HUSBAND— First National. — A riotous comedy, full of laughs. (February.) HERITAGE OF THE DESERT, THE— Paramount.— A Zane Grey story, as good as all his Westerns are. Ernest Torrence best of the cast as usual. (April.) HILL BILLY, THE— United Artists.— Jack Pickford in a truly appealing role. His best picture in a long time. (June.) HIS CHILDREN'S CHILDREN— Paramount.— Another lesson about the fast-stepping younger generation. Well wortli while. (January.) HIS DARKER SELF— Hodkinson.— Framed originally for Al Jolson and done by Lloyd Hamilton, it proves Jolson should have done it. (June.) HIS FORGOTTEN WIFE— F. B. O— The third of the Palmer prize pictures, and up to the standard of the others. The war is in this one. (June.) HIS MYSTERY GIRL— Universal.— The old story of a serious man who gets a little lesson in romance. Herbert Rawlinson is good. (March.) HOODMAN BLIND— Fox.— An oldstage favorite made into a most entertaining picture. Melodrama with ideas. (March.) HOOK AND LADDER— Universal.— Hoot Gibson as a fireman, with a pretty love story and lots of comedy. Family picture. (March.) HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTER, THE— Hodkinson.— A worthy effort to picturize an old best-seller, but it's rather too slow. (June.) HUMMING BIRD, THE — Paramount. — The best thing Gloria Swanson ever has done. One of the best pictures of months. (April.) ICEBOUND— Paramount.— Another William de Mille etching. Restraint is the keynote. Handled by a less able director, it might have been drab, but he makes it live. (May.) INNOCENCE — Apollo. — An ineffective melodrama with Anna Q. Nilsson as a redeeming feature. (March.) IN SEARCH OF A THRILL— Metro.— Viola Dana as a little rich girl wants to see life and becomes an Apache in Paris. (January.) IN THE PALACE OF THE KING— Goldwyn.— A good story, beautifully mounted but carelessly told. Direction not good. (February.) JACK O' CLUBS— Universal.— Lots of trouble for no reason, except to be photographed. (April.) JEALOUS HUSBANDS— First National.— Ordinary, with the only outstanding feature the work of Jane Novak. (April.) JUDGMENT OF THE STORM— F. B. O— The Palmer School's prize photoplay, very interesting and with a charming love story. (March.) JUST OFF BROADWAY— Fox.— A swiftly moving crook drama, with plenty of thrills and excitement. (April.) KENTUCKY DAYS— Fox.— Old Kentucky again with "Covered Wagon" trimmings. Just fair. (May.) KING OF WILD HORSES— Pathe.— A remarkable picture because of the work of the camera man. Shots of wild horses never equalled. The Black a worthy star. (June.) LADIES TO BOARD.— A Tom Mix comedy, with Tonyadded. Mix pullsa lot of his best stunts. (April.) LADY OF QUALITY, A— Universal.— A charming story, excellently played by Virginia Valli and capable cast. (February.) LAW FORBIDS. THE— Universal.— Again Baby Peggy, to whose talents the story has been subordinated. A pretty good picture, too. (May.) ■ LEAVE IT TO GERRY— Ben Wilson.— A mild juvenile comedy, which is amusing and innocuous. Boarding school scenes are good. (May.) LEAVENWORTH CASE, THE— Vitagraph.— A poor adaptation of a famous old best-seller. A mystery story without mystery. (January.) LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER— Vitagraph.— One of the worst ever made. (April.) LIGHT THAT FAILED, THE— Paramount.— In spite of the liberties taken with Kipling, a good picture, excellently acted. (February.) LILIES OF THE FIELD— First National.— A story of the sisterhood that "toil not, neither do they spin," with Corinne Griffith as the feature. For adults. (May.) LONE RANGER, THE— Aywon— Again the Texas Ranger is sent to get his man and gets him. (January.) LONE WAGON, THE— Sanford.— If it hadn't been for the "Covered Wagon," this wouldn't have been made. Who cares? (May.) LONG LIVE THE KING— Metro.— The King is Jackie Coogan and this is one of the best things he ever has done. (January.) LOVE LETTERS— Fox.— The moral is. don't pour out your troubles on paper. Two sisters get into all sorts of woes, but few care. (May.) LOVE MASTER. THE— First National.— Strongheart is the star, and Mrs. Strongheart the leading woman. The others and the story are not so much. (March.) LOVE'S WHIRLPOOL— Hodkinson.— A crook story of the better sort, with James Kirkwood and Lila Lee. Plenty of thrills and holds the interest always. (May.) LOVING LIES — Allied Producers. — Mediocre, in spite of Monte Blue and Evelyn Brent. (April.) LUCRETIA LOMBARD— Warner Brothers.— A good story, but the picture seems flat. Irene Rich scores, as does a forest fire. (March.) LULLABY, THE— F. B. O.— Jane Novak's best picture. She plays three roles and is excellent in each. (March.)
