We teach beauty culture. 25 years in business. D. J. MAHLER, 2262-C Mahler Park, Providence, R.I. SINEWS OF STEEL— Gotham.— A story of big burineat showing how the big steel corporations eat up the little ones. (November.) SINGED — Fox. — Blanche Sweet as a dance hall queen and a man's loyal pal. And very fair stuff, Mortimer! (.September.) SLAVES OF BEAUTY— Fox.— This one has a beauty shop background that will interest the girls. Just a fair story. (August.) SMILE, BROTHER, SMILE— First NationalJack Mulhall in an amusing story of a shipping clerk who would be a salesman. (October.) SOFT CUSHIONS— Paramount.— Douglas MacLean tries Broadway gags in a Bagdad harem. A lot of wise-cracking and a real hit by a newcomer — Sue Carol. (November.) SPECIAL DELIVERY— Paramount.— Eddie Cantor and a lot of gags, some new and some not so new. But a snappy evening. (July.) SPRING FEVER—Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer.— William Haines and Joan Crawford in a mildly funny comedy built about the golf mania. (October.) SPUDS — Pathe. — Larry Scmon tries starring in a travesty on war pictures. No wonder Larry has decided to be a director. (June.) STOLEN BRIDE, THE — First National. — A young countess, a stern parent, a marriageable officer — there you have it. It's a light farce with Billic Dove as its star. (August.) ♦STUDENT PRINCE, THE— Metro-Gold wynMayir.— Ramon Novarro in one of the best love stories ever written. Unfortunately Norm;. Shearer is mis-cast and Lubitsch isn't completely in liis element. Very much worth seeing, nevertheless. (November.) SUNSET DERBY, THE — First National. — A jockey, a girl, a horse and a race. Not very original nor very exciting. With Buster Collier and Mary Astor. (August.) SURRENDER— Universal. — An interesting and sincere portrayal of racial conflict in Russia between Christians and Jews. Mary Pliilbin does some fine acting. (August.) ♦SWIM, GIRL, SWIM— Paramount.— Credit Bebe Daniels with another personal hit in a story of college life. "Trude" Ederle is in it, too. Take the whole family. (October.) TARTUFFE, THE HYPOCRITE— UFA.— Proving that when the Germans make a bad one, they can equal Hollywood's worst. Even Emil Jannings cannot save it. (October.) TEA FOR THREE — Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. — The second of the Lew Cody-Aileen Pringle comedies, neatly and subtlely acted. (November.) ♦TELEPHONE GIRL, THE — Paramount.— An engrossing drama, directed with fine intelligence by Herbert Brenon. May Allison gives one of her best performances and Madge Bellamy, Holbrook Blynn and Warner Baxter are also excellent. See it. (June.) TELL IT TO SWEENEY— Paramount.— Chester Conklin and George Bancroft in a comedy that is just plain nickelodeon. (November.) TEN MODERN COMMANDMENTS — Paramount.— A back-stage story of chorus girls and suchlike, made better than it really is by the presence of Esther Ralston. (September.) TENDER HOUR, THE— First National.— Gorgeous sr"' :g, that means nothing, and a plot that means less. One of those "you must marry the Duke " stories. With Billie Dove. (August.) THIRTEENTH JUROR, THE— Universal. — A satisfying and well-made picture, with Francis X. Bushman and Anna Q. Nilsson doing fine work. See it. (October.) THREE'S A CROWD— First National.— Harry Langdon attempts too much in this one. The boy's good, but he's not Chaplin yet. Better luck next time. (October.) TILLIE THE TOILER— Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. — Marion Davies plays the typewriting gold digger in an amusing film adapted from the popular comic strip. (August.) TIME TO LOVE— Paramount.— Raymond Griffith trying to prove how silly he can be — and proving it. too. Of course, if you have a lot of time to waste — (September.) TIP TOES — British National.— Dorothy Gish in another English picture that is just a filler-in. A brief moment of Will Rogers makes it worth your money. (October.) TOO MANY CROOKS— Paramount.— Mildred Davis tries a comeback in a silly story. It is not a success. Sorry. (June.) TOPSY AND EVA— United Artists.— Broad burlesque of the old story with Rosetta Duncan snatching most of the footage. Funny in a way and slightly vulgar. (September.) TRACKED BY THE POLICE— Warner Bros — Rin-Tin-Tin deserves an extra helping of dog biscuits for making this picture good entertainment. (July.) TUMBLING RIVER— Fox— Its a Tom Mix picture and one of his best. That's all you need to know. (October.) TWELVE MILES OUT— Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. — Rum-running off our dry coasts. A highly popular film with Jack Gilbert giving a sound and interesting performance. (September.) ♦TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS— United Artists.— Proving that there can be something new in war comedies. Bright! Original! Entertaining! With Louis Wolheim and William Boyd. See it, by all means. (November.) UNDERSTANDING HEART, THE— Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. — If it weren't for a thrilling fores fire, this would be one of the dullest pictures of the year, in spite of the work of Joan Crawford and Francis X. Bushman, Jr. (July.) ♦UNDERWORLD — Paramount. — Great story, great direction, great acting. A raw, red drama of the seamy side of life. George Bancroft, Evelyn Brent and Clive Brook are credited with hits. Not for the children. (September.) ♦UNKNOWN, THE— Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.— A fine sinrster plot, a lot of macabre thrills and great acting by Lon Chancy. Also Joan Crawford helps a lot. Don't go if you're easily scared. (August.) VANITY — Producers Dist. Corp. — A society girl goes into war work and forthwith renounces the high hat. All right, if you like this sort of thing. With Leatrice Joy. (September.) ♦WAY OF ALL FLESH, THE— Paramount.— Emil Jannings is the whole picture. Such acting! The story has its powerful moments, weakened by sentimentality. But no one can afford to miss Jannings. (August.) WEDDING BILLS— Paramount.— A deft comedy with Raymond Griffith making the most of every chance for comedy. You'll like it. (August.) WE'RE ALL GAMBLERS— Paramount.— In spite of Thomas Meighan and the direction of James Cruze, this is disappointing. (October.) WHAT HAPPENED TO FATHER— Warner Bros. — Warner Oland's first starring vehicle and a picture quite unworthy that gentleman's talents, (September.) WHIRLWIND OF YOUTH, THE— Paramount. — A war story told, not from the spectacular angle, but as an intimate study of a young couple affected by the conflict. Lois Moran gives a good performance. (August.) WHISPERING SAGE— Fox.— A Western, of course, but abo%'e average. The likable Buck Jones is in it. (June.) 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 PANTS WILLIE— First National.— Some snappy celluloid dedicated to the Art of Johnny Hines. (October.) ♦WIND, THE— Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.— Lillian Gish in a fine and impressive drama of life on a Texas ranch. Excellent support by Lars Hanson and Montagu Love. (November.) ♦WINGS— Paramount.— The War in the Air— a thrilling spectacle that is nicely timed to your interest in aviation. (September.) ♦WOMAN ON TRIAL, THE— Paramount.— An unusually fine story and one that offers Pola Negri a chance for penetrating character study. Not for children. (August.) ♦WORLD AT HER FEET, THE— Paramount — The battle of the sexes, cleverly directed by Luther Reed. Florence Vidor is good as a woman lawyer who always loses her husband in her quest for independence. (August.) YANKEE CLIPPER.THE— Producers Dist. Corp — Six reels of boat race and nautical atmosphere is a little too much. William Boyd is the hero. Just so-so. (June.) The Shadow Stage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3J A THE JAZZ SINGER— Warners L JOLSOX with Yitaphone noises. Jolson is no movie, actor. Without his Broadway reputation, he wouldn't rate as a minor player. The only interest in the picture is his six songs. The story is a fairly good tear-jerker about a Jewish boy wno Ev.iy advertisement In PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
