(August.) SKYROCKET, THE— The best picture about motion picture people so far, and Peggy Hopkins Joyce's debut on the screen. Adapted from Adela Rogers St. Johns' novel of the same name. (January.) SLAVE OF FASHION, A— Metro-Goldwyn.— Wherein a guileless Cinderella getsAer man. A silly but beautifully mounted story with the lovely Norma Shearer and the charming Lew. (October.) SMOOTH AS SATIN— F. B. O— Evelyn Brent looking her prettiest in an ingenious crook story. (September.) SON OF HIS FATHER, A— Paramount.— One of the dullest pictures on record, from a Harold Bell Wright story. (December.) SOULS FOR SABLES— Tiffany.— A great display of feminine finery and a story of fair value. Good for grown-ups. Claire Windsor and Eugene O'Brien head the cast. (November.) SPORTING CHANCE, THE— Tiffany.— A good racing melodrama with plenty of speed and pep. (September.) SPORTING LIFE— Universal.— A new version of an old melodrama of life in the fighting, racing and spending circles of London. (November.) STEELE OF THE ROYAL MOUNTED— Vitagraph. — This time it's Bert Lytell who does his stuff in the great Northwest. (September.) STELLA DALLAS— United Artists. — An almost perfect picture, with one of the greatest performances ever given to the screen — that of Belle Bennett in the title role. (December.) STORM BREAKER, THE— Universal.— A good story, some consistent character studies and excellent sea atmosphere make this a fine picture for adult entertainment. House Peters, Ruth Clifford, Nina Romano and Ray Hallor in the cast. (November.) STREET OF FORGOTTEN MEN, THE— Paramount.— A weird and unusual story of a professional beggar, well told by Herbert Brenon and splendidly acted by Percy Marmont. (October.) SUN-UP — Metro-Goldwyn. — A strong story of the Southern mountains, excellently acted by Conrad Nagel, Lucille La Verne and Pauline Starke, and beautifully photographed. (October.)

O— Bob Custer again — just as loyal and brave as ever and full of fight. (September.) THREE PALS— Davis Dist — An uninteresting story, badly played and badly directed. Two clever horses do not even make it passable. (January.) THREE WISE CROOKS— F. B. O.— Pretty bad. Evelyn Brent tries to rescue the picture from mediocrity by some good acting, but to no avail. (December.) THUNDER MOUNTAIN— Fox.— The old feud story, refreshingly told, with fine humor and an excellent cast. (December.) TIMBER WOLF, THE— Fox.— Buck Jones doing his best in a tegular, old-time thriller. (November.) TOWER OF LIES. THE— Metro-Goldwyn.— A worthwhile picture spoiled by a too-conscious effort to achieve art. Consequently, a human story suffers from artificiality. Well played by Lon Chancy and Norma Shearer. (November.) TRACKED IN THE SNOW COUNTRY — Warner Brothers. — Starring Rin-tin-ti>i. A conventional tale of the fro/en North. (October.) TRIPLE ACTION— Universal.— Rightly named; enough action for three Westerns. Rides. Bights, parachute iumps by a sheriff trying to saw some disease. I cattle. (January.) TROUBLE WITH WIVES, THE Paramount.— A shrewdly amusing domestic comedy with Florence Vidor. Tom Moore. Ford Sterling and Esther Ralston. (October.) UNDER THE ROUGE— Associated Exhibitors.— While it isn't for the children, it is an ingratiating and exciting crook story. (September.) VANISHING AMERICAN, THE— Paramount — In spite of its weak points, this epic of the American Indian is very worth while seeing. Richard Dix gives a fine performance. Take an extra handkerchief. (December.) VERDICT, THE— Tru-Art.— A far-fetched mvstery story' with William Collier, Jr., doing some effective acting. (August.) WALL STREET WHIZ. THE— F. B. O— All right for the young boys, who aren't particular about sense and logic. An absurd story with Richard Talmadge doing some unnecessary gymnastics. (January.) WANDERER.

THE— Fox.— A passable romantic melodrama that falls short through a colorless performance given by Alma Rubens. But Edmund Lowe is good and handsome in his French officer's uniform. {December.) WINDS OF CHANCE— First National— Plenty of thrills, plenty of story action and a large cast oi popular players make this Alaskan melodrama worth your attention. (October.)
