RIP VAN WINKLE— Hodkinson
Washington Irving's immortal classic has been screened in a most artistic and delightful manner, with Thomas Jefferson, whose father first brought fame to the role of the incorrigible but lovable Rip, assuming the screen characterization. You will enjoy every moment of it. if you number yourself among the young of heart, whether your age be eight or eighty.
HIS NIBS— Exceptional
Charles (Chic) Sale brings a new face and a newpersonality to the screen. His first photoplay suggesthis ever-popular vaudeville act in that he assumes seven distinct roles, all rural characters, and is, in short, the whole show himself. It is amusing and unquestionably different. There is a place for this actor on the screen. He is as individual as Charles Ray or Charles Chaplin.

ALFS BUTTON— Hepworth— First National
A film from Britain, and a novel one. It's about the Tommy who, when he rubs a button on his coat, summons a genii named Eustace, who can give him whatever he wants. He wants fine clothes and harems and a box at the opera. Leslie Henson, playing Alf, indulges in some delicious comedy. Alma Taylor, a fine actress, is Alf's sweetheart. The best of the British films so far.
TWO MINUTES TO GO— First National
Having tried his hand at every known variety of sport. Charles Ray now turns to football, and appears as a college gridiron hero in "Two Minutes to Go." The results are disappointing, for. while Mr. Ray himself is satisfactory, his surroundings are far from convincing as a depiction of the dear old college life. Moreover, his story is foolish and unexciting.
THE CASE OF BECKY— Realart
This picture narrowly misses being one of the Six Best Pictures of Photoplay's month. And we can't tell you just where it misses, or how, or why. The direction is able; Constance Binney gives an amazingly accurate performance of Becky, the bad, and Dorothy, the good, in this story of dual personality. There is suspense in it. and climax. Glenn Hunter is splendid.
THE WONDERFUL THING— First National
Norma Talmadge's admirers, and most of us belong to that class, will view her latest production with satisfaction. It is a filmization of the stage play of the same name, and while it offers no unusual situations, the star is pleasing and sincere. Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, the famous society leader, is most convincing. She possesses personal magnetism and charm.
