Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1927)

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section 47 GENTLEMEN PREFER SCOTCH— Fox THIS is a delightful short comedy. It is called to your attention particularly because this is the first picture in which Nick Stuart and Sally Phipps (of "High School Hero" fame) appeared. It is full of laughs. STRANDED— Sterling ANOTHER story of the poor little girl, who comes to Hollywood to make her fame in the "movies." You would hardly guess that this story is a brain child ol Anita Loos. Just proves that you can't write a top-notcher every time. Shirley Mason and William Collier, Jr., have the featured roles. But they neither make you laugh nor cry — and we do like to do one or the other. Florence Turner did her little bit perfectly and Gale Henry's comedy added much to the picture. BLONDES BY CHOICE— Gotham CLAIRE WINDSOR surprises us appearing with black hair, but her beauty is all the more alluring when the transition comes. Story of a clever girl with a beauty parlor de luxe. The small town is filled with spinsters who have "plenty of sex but no appeal." You can imagine the animosity. With the aid of her enterprising suitor, Allen Simpson, Claire manages to outwit them all. Walter Hiers and Bodil Rosing fit into the scheme of things. Good, light entertainment. THE LONE EAGLE— Universal JUST another picture dedicated to the flyers of America. Naturally, it invites comparison with the big pictures on this subject already shown. In this it suffers. Most of the interest centers around Raymond Keane, U. S. A., who joins the Royal Flying Corps. He may have been "yellow" in the beginning, but he finishes with courage and bravery. Barbara Kent, as his godmother, and later his sweetheart, does nicely. Keane looks good and plays with poise and intelligence. Some fairly exciting aerial scenes. BIRDS OF PREY— Columbia WHILE Priscilla Dean always makes a splendid "lady thief," the band she was connected with in this instance had little to recommend it. A masquerade ball for first opportunity and an earthquake to cover up a second haul were the production high lights. Hugh Allen rendered fairlygood support .is the male lead, and Gustavo von Seyffertitz gave a good performance. SHIELD OF HONOR— Universal "TNSIDE" crooks steal the diamonds, lock ■Mhe heroine in a vault, burn the jewelry store and lose to the hero in a daring aviation race to recapture their loot. Chuck full of action. Offers a unique situation in the saving of the girl. Dorothy Gulliver, Neil Hamilton, Ralph Lewis and Nigel Barrieare featured. Lively entertainment, if you like crook stories. TUMBLING RIVER— FOX npOM and Tony again share the honors. ■* A typical Mix-adventure story. A gang of horsethieves, headed by Tom's rival for the delectable Dorothy Dwan, capture Buster — Tony's pal. Tony refuses to be stolen. Does some splendid swimming to aid in the re-capture. Freckled faced Elmo Billings warms the hearts of boy-lovers as Tom's little ranch pal. BODY AND SOUL— Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer EVEN with a tri-star combination of names — Aileen Pringle, Lionel Barrymore and Norman Kerry — there is little about this picture to recommend. In the three stars in the order named you have the wife, husband and lover. The husband, a drink crazed surgeon, holds in his hands the power of life or death over the lover in an operation. The scientist triumphs over the man and in the end the wife and lover are left to each other. Not particularly worth while. HEBIE GEBIES—Hal Roach A N improbable story, but funny. A -**-hypnotist turns "Our Gang," now called "His Rascals," into animals. Farina makes up as a black cat that licks up the real kitten's milk and ruffles his back in comic indignation. The monkey takes some daring swings on the chandeliers, while the little fat doggy bites all of the society ladies on the hands and other unmentionable locations. A clean, clever farce which will intrigue the children.

My system scientifically builds real muscle faster than you ever imagined. Watch Them Turn Around Notice how every woman prefers the fellow who carries himself with head up.
