I'.h ONE SHILLING AND TWOPENCE, p'osl tree. Complete in poilioho. chase .it the end provides a good deal of excitement, and is a fitting conclusion to an attractive film. An exceptionally good release is The Secret Gift, which features Gladys Walton, Lee Kohlmar and Rudolph Christian. . The story is one of great heart interest, and the acting the best to be seen this month. The plot mainly concerns two elderly bi others, one of whom is ready to take the blame for a crime the other committed, although there is a boy and girl love -story as "well. The photography is very good, and the production technically excellent. Gladys Walton is a splendid little artiste (she is a star now), and many of her latter vehicles show her in comedydrama and comedy as opposed to the more dramatic roles she undertakes successfully when she chooses. Lee Kohlmar is a stage player who came over to London to supervise the production of one of the " Potash and Perlm utter " plays. He excels in character work, but does not confine himself exclusively to it. He has not made many films, his stage activities leaving him little time for them. \good British social drama is Kitty Tailleur, which stars lovely Marjorie Hume. Adapted from May Sinclair's novel, it is a well-made story, and the characters are ignite lifelike. The two sisters, the principal characters in it, supply the chief interest, and Marjorie Hume is artistic all the .while as the unhappy and pathetic heroine, whilst Nora Hayden, as the affectionately simple sister, is an effective foil to her. The ending of the film is out of the ordinary, for it does not end completely ; it leaves off at a sorrowful point in the story, and the onlooker is left to finish it as he feels disposed. 'There is no really good reason why the two principals should not marry. The mysterious character of " Kitty " is well sustained throughout, and scenic effe< ts arc good and picturesque, for the play was made in the Italian Riviera amid natural lovely settings. "\ Tonte Pine's April release does IV J. not match up to The Fighting Schoolmaster, although it has the same rural backgrounds and feuds. It is too serious altogether : the action is serious, the characterisation more serious, and Monte Pine most serious. 'The plot is an obvious one, but this mighi have been camouflaged successfully, had more movement and incident been introduced. 'There are too many talky sub-titles, too, parts of the film being merely illustrated conversations between the rugged lawyer from the hills (Monte Blue) and the aristocrat from Blue Grass (Wilfred Lytell). Monte Blue is not entirely sympathetic as the homespun hero, whose sense of honour is too strong to allow him to help his convict brother to escape. The Kentucky backgrounds, though, are charming, and compensate for a good deal that is not. Mountain, valley, and hill, winding roads and glorious sunsets, are well displayed to give the picture its correct atmosphere. It is from the novel by John Fox, junior. Picturegoers who enjoyed The Fifth Form at St. Dominic's should be sure not to miss It's a Great Life. This is a story about an American boys' school, showing various incidents in the lives of the students and masters in a " prep." school. There is little plot, but every scene will entertain, even though the spectators have left their schooldays a long way behind. The humour is of the Mark Twain variety, and the boys, especially the two chief characters, " Stoddard " (Cullen Landis) and " The Wop " (Howard Ralston), are [Continual on page $H. ksfegp Write fm Jrrr list of Kinema Novelties.
