The Screen in Review

Later, to eke out the plot, she meets his doctor friend, falls in love with and marries him. And still later — you see, it has to be later ! — the villain occurs again in her life. He threatens to tell all the horror of her past to the husband she dotes on, unless she comes to his rooms ; and when she does so. the price extorter is killed by his servant, who turns out to be none other than the vengeful brother of the Egyptian girl who was ruined in the prologue.
As I suggested, Miss Dorothy Dalton is quite plump for one of those heroines who pay the price. I always imagine that such ladies should be lean to the verge of emaciation. Perhaps I am wrong. At any rate, Miss Dalton manages to convey the emotional idea, and to be deliciously miserable. William Conklin and Thurston Hall were the men in the sad case.
"This Is the Life"
(Fox)
1 SHALL end by becoming one of George Walsh's fervent admirers. I am sure of it. I always seem to be viewing his pictures, and each one I see is an improvement on its predec e s s o r . "This Is the Life" is the best of the lot. It is directed by Mr. Walsh's own brother, R. A. Walsh — surely a piece of fratern a 1 devotion — and it tells the story of a wealthy youth who yearns to be a "picture star."
The "titles" in this film are exceedingly happy, which is worth
mentioning. They are humorous and not illiterate — also worth mentioning — and they are further distinctly appropriate. Walsh, as the would-be movie star, has all sorts of capers to cut up, and he does his work with clean-cut precision and intelligence. He is agile, dramatic, and clever. The story leads him to the fertile field of fiction, South America, where, of course, there is a revolution, wdiich the hero imagines is a picture play. There is a charming girl, Miss WTanda Petit, to be rescued, and who can. do the rescue work as realistically as George Walsh? He does it for all he is worth.
"This Is the Life" is full of amusing incidents, and its star surely makes good throughout. He is one of the "live wires" of the films.
The Man Hater"
(Triangle)
HIS is a very simple story. Its very title gives it away. Whenever you hear of a man hater and of a woman hater, you know what

final episode, of course, he or she will be irrevocably converted. And in this picture there is another always popular idea — that of the wife in name only. Fiction lovers adore the wife in nameonly business. It would be difficult to say exactly why in a few lines. I presume that a plausible explanation could be offered if space were unlimited. Mine is not.
