PRINCE OF A KING, A— Selznick.— Little Dinky Dean is the star and all children and most grown-ups will like it. (March.) PURE GRIT— Universal.— The Western formula, with Roy Stewart heading the east. (March.) RED WARNING, THE— Universal.— Even Jack lloxie gets out of breath keeping up with the story in this thriller. (February.)

(June.) SIX-CYLINDER LOVE— Fox.— A light and amusing comedy, well handled, with Ernest Truex doing excellent work. (February.) SLAVE OF DESIRE— Goldwyn.— Balzac's "The Magic Skin" in celluloid. Rather vague, but Bessie Love and Carmcl Myers are good. (February.) SOCIETY SCANDAL, A— Paramount.— Another surprise by Gloria Swanson. Totally different type from "The Humming Bird," but none the less well done. Well worth seeing. (May.) SONG OF LOVE, THE— First National.— Norma Talmadge as an Arab dancing girl and very much worth while seeing. (March.) SOUTH SEA LOVE— Fox.— Shirley Mason is good in a mediocre and unconvincing story. (Feb.) SPORTING YOUTH— Universal.— An auto racing picture of the type Wally Reid used to do, with Reginald Denny as hero. Good entertainment. (April.) STEADFAST HEART, THE— Goldwyn. — Although the story is rather improbable, the capital acting of little Joseph Depew makes it worth while. (March:) [CONTINUED ON PAGE 1 6 ] Girls! Throw Away Your Fat!
