(July.) GRAUSTARK — First National. — Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien in a new version of the old stoiy. Good for those who are fond of sweets. (November.)^ GROUNDS FOR DIYORCE— Paramount— A French farce that just misses being delightfully frothy. Matt Moore and Florence Vidor are in it. (September.) HALF WAY GIRL, THE— First National — Doris Kenyon in a story of the sordid side of the Orient. A ship explosion adds a much-needed thrill to a commonplace movie. (October.) HAPPY WARRIOR, THE — Yitagraph. — The story is oversentimental, although it has its exciting moments. Malcolm MacGregor is good as the hero. (September.) HAUNTED RANGE, THE— Davis Distributing; — Ken Maynard, a newcomer, joins the "heavy ridin' brigade." Just another of those "Westerns." {November.) HAVOC — Fox. — Showing the disastrous effects of the war on London society. A dismal drama is relieved by George O'Brien. (November.)
