HEART OF SALOME— Fox '""THIS is a very poor piece of work com*■ ing from the hands of Victor Schertzinger. But we must admit he was handicapped with a most improbable story. Alma Rubens is an accomplice of a clever thief, Holmes Herbert, who is almost unrecognizable in "bangs." Walter Pidgeon, the boy friend, learns of this and denounces Alma. She imagines herself as another Salome and asks the master-mind for the life of her former lover. And very movieish, at the last moment she weakens and saves him. BITTER APPLES— Warner Bros. AND quite bitter entertainment — in fact this needs a lot of sweetening for most audiences. A really absurd affair about a gal who marries for revenge and then learns she really loves the hero. Now you tell one. Monte Blue is a big brave hero — y' know the kind that beats up a whole hard-boiled crew of pirates. Did you know pirates were sailing the seas these days? But, perhaps to fool the censors, pirates is a camouflaged name for rum-runners. Anyhow, don't bother. HIS FIRST FLAME— Pathe HTHIS is Harry Langdon's first feature ■*■ length comedy and for reasons best known to Harry's former money-making employers, it has just been released. It was made about two years ago and the improvements in pictures in two years are remarkable. Langdon is, was and always will be funny but it is just a plain low trick to show this to audiences. The lighting is bad, the girl's clothes are a scream — in fact the picture looks like a number of tworeelers pasted together — but Harry is always worth the price of admission. DON DESPERADO— Pathe A REAL good Western featuring Leo ■*»■ Maloney. Now let's see — there's a "Black Bandit" to be caught and with Leo as the deputy-sheriff you know things will happen fast and furious. There's a villainous lawyer at the bottom of the whole mess but he couldn't fool our hero. You'll like this even though it is rather shy on the romantic angle. THE BRUTE— Warner Bros. JUST another Western, in which Monte Blue is wasted. This time a few oil wells are added for novelty. However, it's the same old theme: the honest cowboy falls in love with the dance hall cutie. If you want to waste your evening, it's up to you. THE FIGHT ISG THREE— Universal HTHE usual Western pep is missing here •*■ because the hero becomes enamoured with a prima donna of a traveling show. He takes the place of the mind-reader of the show and startles the audience by telling who committed the recent murder. Then matters liven up a bit and we have a little fighting and hard riding but not the kind that would cause any great comment afterwards. RICH BUT HONEST— Fox A XOTHER version of the poor little ■^^-saleslady's problem. As soon as she is fired it is inevitable she will turn to the stage. The backer of the show becomes interested in her but she still remains true to the poor boy-friend because poor people are supposed to be honest. But the poor boy-friend turns out to be a dirty cur and the wealthy hero pulls the rescue act. It's just as bad as it sounds. PIRATES OF THE SKY— Pathe ■"THE children will find this enjoyable * and thrilling but grown-ups will find it very inconsistent. The secret service are baffled by the numerous robberies of the mail planes. Charles Hutchinson is put on the case and solves the mystery after a lot of silly running around. EYES OF TOTEM— Pathe HTHIS resembles the movies made ten ■* years ago. The story and players are too dramatic for words. The heroine's husband is murdered. Their life's savings stolen. Alone in the world with a baby to bring up. So mama disguises as a beggar at the " Eyes of Totem " and watches everyone pass — she is intent on finding the murderer. And how she does before the final reel is nobody's business. Go and see for yourself. 75 Z AT SO?— Fox HpHE screen version of this hilarious stage -* success loses some of its spontaneous quality in the picturization, but for all that remains a worth-while entertainment. George O'Hara plays the prizefighter as a wise-cracker rather than a dumb pug, but that isn't altogether fatal, and the lad, stripped for the ring, is a great physical specimen. Edmund Lowe, as his manager, credits himself with another fine part after "What Price Glory!" You will probably enjoy it. Brickbats and Bouquets [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 82 The Fight Is On! Tulsa, Okla. I have just finished reading Elinor Glyn's list of people who have " IT," and those who haven't. And have come to the conclusion that "IT" isn't so darned important after all is considered. Aren't those "Itless" stars as great, and as well loved by the public, as those who, according to Madame Glyn, are blessed with that elusive quality? And, well, to clinch my argument, don't people usually prefer the unfortunatedoggies, who haven't a particle of "IT," to any member of the personality possessing cat family? And as for Ramon Novarro, he couldn't possibly be any more wonderful than he is, so " IT" must be a rather negligible quality, since it seems he hasn't got it. Marion Wallace.
