CONFLICT— Universal
Priscilla Dean's new picture starts with a punch and ends with a wallop, but the intervening space is longdrawn-out and dull. "Conflict" is well worth while, though, if only for the climax, in which Miss Dean rides a log through swirling rapids and makes faces at the waterfall that is waiting to receive her. The picture suffers from poor continuity, but the scenes are splendid.
NOBODY'S FOOL— Universal
A most scintillating starlet, Marie Prevost. She leaves her bathing suit at home, and fares forth into tinwilds to get next to Nature. Traps a woman-hate;-. Harry Myers, and whether she finds him worth the struggle or not you can find out for yourself. Remember him as "The Connecticut Yankee?" You'll agree she is nobody's fool. Neither is her scenario writer.
THE SINGLE TRACK— Vitagraph
Corinne Griffith's latest shows her only in the first reel as her usual screen self, the dashing debutante. But the first reel is well worth seeing, because Corinne dances as Salome, simply attired in a costume composed chiefly of feathers. Then she goes west to see about a railroad. That's where the title comes in. She has to fight for her rights, and she is ably assisted by Richard Travers.
LADYFINGERS— Metro
Bert Lytell in a role reminiscent of his Jimmy Valentine. It is probably the best of his recent releases. The plot has several unusual twists and though the climax is reached, really in the middle of the story, the remaining reels have been handled in such a manner as to prevent an anti-climax. Ora Carew does some excellent work opposite the star.
BAR NOTHIN— Fox
A cyclonic melodrama of the fast and furious West, Buck Jones is the fighting ranch foreman who shoots up the town right regular until Ruth Renick slides down a cliff into his life. The story at times bears some claim to logic, and Buck combines his daredevil stunts with a real histrionic ability. The blonde Miss Renick is most satisfactory as the heroine. It's well titled!
MY LADY FRIENDS— First National
Bringing some of the best of the stage comedies to the realm of the flickering Kleig lights, is the favorite pastime of Mr. and Mrs. Carter De Haven, and who in cameraland can do it better than they? Here's a jolly mix-up. consisting of one virtuous husband, one suspicious wife and three businesslike vampires. Guess who wins out, and then guess again. (Cont'd on page 120)
