Theodore Roberts as "Moses" m" The Ten Commandments."
Another Scandal (F. B. 0.; Jan 19).
A rather highly-seasoned story of feminine wiles and masculine futility based .upon Cosmo Hamilton's novel of the same name. Excellent acting by Lois Wilson, Flora Le Breton, Hedda Hopper, Holmes E. Herbert, Ralph Bunker, Zeffie Tilbury, and Bigelow Cooper. Good triangle drama.
The Call of the Wild (Pathe; Jan. 19).
A faithful screen version of Jack London's well-known story of the gold rush days on the Yukon featuring "Buck," the dog star, Jack Mulhall and Walter Long. Excellent entertainment.
The Cost of Beauty (Napoleon; Jan. 5). Strong fare concerning a deliberately childless wife and her subsequent redemption and reformation. Well played by Betty Ross Clarke, Lewis Dayton, Tom Reynolds and James Lindsay. Morbid entertainment.
Cyrano De Bergerac (Pathe; Jan. 5).
A coloured film version of the well known drama of the "Three Musketeers" period produced by Auerusto Genina and playea by Pierre Regnier, Linda Moglia, A. Ferrari, U. Casilini and A. Bernard. Good romantic fare.
The Dangerous Blonde (European; Jan. 12). Excellent ^omedy romance about a henpecked husband who gets mixed up in a scandal because of some foolish letters he sent to an adventuress. Laura La Plante stars, supported by Edward Hearn, Arthur Hoyt, Philo McCullough, Eve Southern, Margaret Campbell, Dick Sutherland and Frederick Cole.
Daughters of Pleasure (Rose; Jan. 26).
Monte Blue, Marie Prevost, Clara Bow, Edith Chapman, and Wilfred Luca in a somewhat sentimental story about a girl who moulded her life upon the "Like father— like daughter" idea. Excellent acting and photography.
Decameron Nights (Graham Wilcox; Jan. 16). An interesting example of modern technique in sets, lighting and photography,
this screen version of the Boccacio Lrury Lane drama is Herbert Wilcox's best production to date. Continuity is weak, but acting by Werner Krauss, Ivy Duke, Randle Ayrton, Hanna Ralph, Xenia Desti, Lionel Barrymore, Bernhard Goetzhe, Albert Steinweck, George John and Jameson Thomas is good. Good romantic entertainment.
The Desert Outlaw (Fox; Jan. 8).
Buck Jones and Evelyn Brent in a strong and original adventure story of the western plains.
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall (Allied Artists; Jan. 12). Mary Pickford in a congenial role as the hot-tempered, mischievous, sixteenthcentury heroine of Charles Major's romance. A sumptuously and faithfully
mounted period story in which the star is supported by Anders Randolf, Marc MacDermott, Mme. Daumery, Allen Forrest, Wilfrid Lucas, Claire Eames, Estelle Taylor, Lottie Pickford and Courteney Foote. Marshall Neilan directed. Excellent entertainment.
Fair Week (Paramount; Jan 22).
The answer to " Can a fat man be a hero?" in the person of Walter Hiers in a good circus comedy drama, with some remarkably good characters and types. Constance Wilson opposite, also Carmen Phillips, J. Farrell MacDonald, Robert Mack, Mary Jane Irving, Earl Metcalf and Knute Erickson.
Flaming Barriers (Paramount; Jan. 2Jb). A strong romance of firefighters with a thrilling forest fire as its climax. Jacqueline Logan, Antonio Moreno, and Walter Hiers are the stars, and Charles Ogle, Robert McKim, Luke Cosgrove and Warren Rogers support Good, exciting, fare.
The Gaiety Girl (European; Jan. 5).
Mary Philbin in a picturesque if nonetoo-correct as to details film version of "The Inheritors," by J. A. R. Wylie. Joseph J. Dowling, William Haines, Otto Hoffman, James 0. Barrows, De Witt Jennings, Freeman S. Wood, Tom Ricketts and Grace Darmond also appear. Good entertainment.
The Gay Corinthian (Butchers; Jan. 26). A typically British story not unlike M'Lord of the White Road with Victor McLaglen as its fighting hero. Good support from Betty Faire, Cameron Carr, Donald Macardle, George Turner, Jack Denton, Noel Arnott and Ex-Guardsman Penwill. Good costume romance.
High Speed (European; Jan. 19).
