Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1927)

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section *WE'RE IN THE NAVY NOW— Paramount — Another genuinely amusing comedy of the life of the underdogs in the Great War, with Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton offering two amusing character sketches. (.January.) WHAT EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW— Warner Bros. — The title has nothing to do with the story. Patsy Ruth Miller does an imitation of Mary Pickford. Fancy that! (May.) ♦WHAT PRICE GLORY— Fox.— The war drama that started all the fun. A fine screen version of a great play, with excellent acting ana sincere direction. Victor McLaglen, Edmund Lowe and Dolores Del Rio deserve high praise. (February.) *WHEN A MAN LOVES— Warner Bros.— The scented story of Manon and Des Grieux made into a hectic movie melodrama. Dolores Costello is a lovely heroine and John Barrymore does his stuff with uneven success. (April.) WHILE LONDON SLEEPS— Warner Brothers.— Not a great picture but a great star — none other than Rin-Tin-Tin. He puts over the film. (February.) WHISPERING SAGE — Fox.— A Western, of course, but above average. The likable Buck Jones is in it. (June.) WHITE BLACK SHEEP, THE— First National. — Richard Barthelmess again plays the wandering boy who fights his way back for dear old England, this time. Hokum. (February.) WHITE FLANNELS — Warner Bros. — The struggle of a poor mother to give her boy a college education. A human story, well acted by Louise Dresser and Warner Richmond. (June.) WHITE GOLD— Producers Dist. Corp.— A fine, exciting narrative, told in masterly style by William K. Howard. Crowded out of the "six best" of the month. But don't miss it. (May.) WINGS OF THE STORM— Fox.— A new canine star — Thunder — makes his appearance. The story has a real appeal for children. It's the autobiography of a dog. (February.) WINNERS OF THE WILDERNESS— Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. — Three cheers for Colonel Tim McCoy, the new western star! He knows the ropes and he has a great personality. Unfortunately, Roy D'Arcy is also in the cast. (March.) WOLVES' CLOTHING — Warner Brothers.— A feeble attempt at comedy. It is more likely to annoy you than make you laugh. (March.) YANKEE CLIPPER, THE— Six reels of boat race and nautical atmosphere is a little too much. William Boyd is the hero. Just so-so. (June.) Brickbats & Bouquets [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 ] " I read Photoplay because I am interested in the people it writes about. Stories of hardship — bravery — patience — sacrifice — success — great sorrows and great joys. Suppose the spotlight of the World were turned on our little town, and each individual's private life held up for the whole world to see. Would it show the beauty, talent and achievement that these people show? Scandals they have — but what town doesn't? But our scandals are local affairs, while theirs are scattered to the four winds. Instead of reading all about the Chaplin scandal I have been reading about the wonderful marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks. An inspiration to any one who reads the article. Can you name a couple of your acquaintance who is perfectly happy?" "I give up," laughed my friend." May I take this number home to read?" And after reading it, she admitted that the movies held a different meaning for her. Lynne E. Hanson. The Man Who Made Buster Allentown, Pa. Once I heard a story concerning Langdon and Keaton. Buster was making a picture and Harry walked on the set with his simple facial expression. Buster laughed and that part had to be re-shot — when Langdon wasn't around. Lehman H. Klf.ppinger.
