ISLE OF LOST SHIPS, THE— First National.— A fantastic romance of derelicts in the Sargasso Sea, screened with imagination by Tourneur. (June.) JAVA HEAD — Paramount. — From Hergesheimer's novel.

LEOPARDESS, THE— Paramount.— Montague Love tries taming Alice Brady, a wild gal of the South Seas. He also tries to tame a leopardess — and gets tamed most effectively.

(June.) LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER, THE — Warner Brothers. — A situation after the manner of "The Miracle Man," with a wealthy mine owner, a mine disaster and a minister. (June.) LOST AND FOUND — Goldwyn. — Hollywood hokum dropped in the South Seas. A beautiful background and good players wasted. (June.)

MILADY — American Releasing Corporation. — Advertised as "beginning where 'The Three Musketeers' left off," this French production is nearer Dumas than Douglas Fairbanks. Worth while. (April.) MILLION IN JEWELS, A— American Releasing Corporation. — Our old favorite, Helen Holmes, tries to smuggle in the Russian Crown Jewels. Helen should be given a chance to smuggle herself into a good picture. She would make good. (April.) MR.

MODERN MARRIAGE — American Releasing Corporation — The team of Beverly Bayne and Francis X. Bushman return in a commonplace story smoothly screened. (June.) NE'ER-DO-WELL, THE— Paramount. — Not altogether successful, nor altogether uninteresting, for Thomas Meighan is in it. Old-fashioned. (July.)

O— Dan Mason and a screamingly funny set of false whiskers as the graduate of a correspondence course in detecting, furnishes great amusement. (April.) POP TUTTLE'S POLECAT PLOT— F. B.

O— Ethel Clayton's loveliness shines out from the dim and mystic East, where Ethel gains a sacred vase and nearly loses her life. (July.) ROBERT BRUCE WILDERNESS TALES — Educational. — Mr. Bruce makes the scenery, and even the dogs, a background for wee stories that without much plot are decidedly interesting. (April.) ROD AND GUN SERIES— Hodkinson.— The wealth of detail and the excellent photography don't quite compensate for the distaste of such utter destruction of ducks, geese, quail and fish. (May.) RUSTLE OF SILK, THE— Paramount.— The triangle of a British statesman, his unfaithful wife and an adoring lady's maid, who loves the statesman from afar, isn't much of drama.

Prepare for laughter, shrieks and general hysteria. (June.) SCARS OF JEALOUSY— First National.— See "Poor Men's Wives." Ditto. (May.)
