(March.) RED WARNING, THE— Universal.— Even Jack Hoxic gets out of breath keeping up with the story in this thriller. (February.) RENDEZVOUS, THE— Neilan-Goldwyn. — The love story of an American soldier and a Russian princess, delightfully produced by Marshall Neilan. (March.) RENO — Goldwyn. — Rupert Hughes' argument for a uniform divorce law. For adults. (March.) RESTLESS WIVES — Commonwealth. — Hardworking husbands, bridge-playing wives and other conventionalities. (March.) REJECTED WOMAN, THE— Distinctive.— Fine story served with thrills. All about opera singer (Alma Rubens) who loses her voice and wins a husband. (July.) RIDGEWAY OF MONTANA — Universal. — Typical Western thriller with hero and virtue winning out. As usual, great riding by Jack Hoxie. (July.) RIDERS UP — Universal. — An old favorite. Creighton Hale, in a good role. That of a racetrack wastrel whose family thinks he is a good boy. The girl knows he isn't and loves him anyway. Good picture. (July.) RIDE FOR YOUR LIFE— Universal.— And Hoot Gibson does — for his own and other lives. There's little else to it. (May.) ROUGH RIDIN'— Approved.— Just a regular Western with lots of action and little novelty. (June.) ROULETTE — Selznick. — The perils of the gaming table again, but with a good cast. Nothing to get excited about. (May.) SATIN GIRL, THE— Apollo.— Lady crook fools the whole police force, as usual. (February.) SECRETS— First National. — A charming picture, with Norma Talmadge as star. Don't miss it. (April.) SECOND YOUTH— Goldwyn.— A comedy that, instead of being funny, is ludicrous. Just bad, that's all. (June.) SHADOWS OF PARIS— Paramount.— Pola Negri as an Apache — one of the types she does so well. Well directed. Worth seeing. (May.) SHEPHERD KING.THE— Fox.— An interesting story of David the Psalmist, done by a capable Italian company. (February.) SHERLOCK, JR.— Metro.— Buster Keaton with a new bag of tricks. Don't miss it if you like Buster. This time he is an amateur sleuth. (July.) SHOOTING OF DAN McGREW, THE— Metro. — Only fair, and it should have been excellent, with such a theme and cast. (June.) SILENT STRANGER, THE— F. B. O — The great open spaces, mail robbers, a handsome stranger, the poor girl and the rest. (June.) SINGER JIM McKEE — Paramount.— A typical Bill Hart picture which surely will please all his admirers. (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 Carmel 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. (April.) STEADFAST HEART, THE— Goldwyn. — Although the story is rather improbable, the capital acting of little Joseph Depew makes it worth while. (March.) STEPHEN STEPS OUT— Paramount.— The first and only picture of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.. for Paramount. And pretty good at that. (February.) STOLEN SECRETS— Universal.— Another crook drama with a pretty girl solving the mystery and reforming the chief crook. (May.) STORM DAUGHTER, THE— Universal.— Priscilla Dean in an interesting and well-acted drama of the sea. But it ends too suddenly. (June.) STRANGER FROM THE NORTH— Biltmore.— The only difference is that, in this one, the city feller makes good. (June.) STRANGER, THE— Paramount.— This picture starts slowly, but picks up and tells an absorbing story in direct and effective fashion. (April.) SUPREME TEST, THE— Renown.— The country boy in the wicked city, the mortgage on the farm and the rest. (March.) TELEPHONE GIRL, THE— F. B. O— A screen version of the slangy Witwer story, with Alberta Vaughn, a clever comedienne, as the fresh telephone operator. Amusing. (May.) TELEPHONE GIRL, THE— F. B. O — Another of the series of hilarious comedies from the short stories of H. C. Witwer, called "The Square Sex." Only fair. (July.) TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE— Paramount.— One of the greatest pictures ever made. A wonderful entertainment and a marvelous sermon. The color prologue wondrously fine. (February.) THIEF OF BAGDAD, THE— United Artists.— Doug Fairbanks' latest and greatest. A picture of nagic and beauty. The Arabian Nights brought to life. Should be seen by everyone. (May.) THIS FREEDOM— Fox.— An English company, headed by Fay Compton, makes the Hutchinson story fairly entertaining. (February.) THREE MILES OUT — Kenna. — Madge Kennedy and a lot of rum pirates provide plenty of laughs. Good entertainment. (March.) THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING — C. C. Burr. — Unconvincing story, with Constance Binney as a jazz-mad girl who dances beautifully. (May.) THREE WEEKS— Goldwyn.— A lavish picturization of Elinor Glyn's novel, with lovely settings. (Apr.) THRILL CHASER, THE— Universal. — Hoot Gibson goes to Hollywood and thence to Arabia, becoming a sheik. (February.) THROUGH THE DARK— Cosmopolitan.— A Boston Blackie crook story, dealing with the redemption of a man through a woman's faith. — (March.) THUNDERGATE— First National.— Conventional story with scenes in China. Owen Moore good. (March.) THY NAME IS WOMAN— Metro— A tragedy.told simply and effectively, with some beautiful sets and photography. Barbara La Marr excellent. (April.) TIGER ROSE— Warner Brothers.— Excellent adaptation of the stage play, with Lenore Ulric in her original role. (February.) TO THE LADIES— Paramount. — A joyous entertainment and — incidentally — Director James Cruze's fourth successive hit. (February.) TRAIL OF THE LAW, THE— Biltmore.— Old formula of country girl and city chap, and not well done. (April.) TROUBLE SHOOTER, THE— Fox.— Tom Mix in a part that lets him act. A simple story sustained by his straightforward acting and enlivened by little Kathleen Key. (July.) TRY AND GET IT — Hodkinson. — An impossible story, but with many laughs. Bryant Washburn and Billie Dove in cast. Good entertainment. (June.) TWENTY DOLLARS A WEEK— Selznick.— George Arliss in a comedy that is by no means worthy of him. A weak farce. (June.) TWENTY-ONE— First National.— The 1924 model of Richard Barthelmess in an interesting, but not great, picture. (February.) TWO WAGONS, BOTH COVERED— Pathe.— One of Will Rogers' burlesques and a clever one. Great, if you've seen "The Covered Wagon." (April.) UNCENSORED MOVIES— Pathe.— Will Rogers impersonates stars and isn't very funny. (February.) UNKNOWN PURPLE, THE — Truart. — Less thrilling than the stage version but nevertheless worth seeing if you like suspense. (February.) Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
