from Hollywood 73 THREE WISE FOOLS Goldwyn-Cosmopolitan Three very human and utterly charming elderly gentlemen dominate this excellent picture. Claude Gillingwater, Alec Francis and William H. Crane make of THREE WISE FOOLS a mirth-inspiring, workmanlike adaptation of the stage comedy of the same name. A convict vendetta with a smashing jailbreak lends thrills to the plot. The three doddering old men suddenly have a ward thrust upon them. The ward, Eleanor Boardman, routs them out of the ruts into which they have fallen, with amusing results. There is a pleasant love-interest, between Eleanor Boardman and William Haines, a nicelooking juvenile who handles his first real part very capably. The picture abounds in snappy titles and humorous situations. THE BRIGHT SHAWL Associated First National THE BRIGHT SHAWL is a disappointment. The story has been ineffectively adapted from Hergesheimer's novel, and holds its interest chiefly through Richard Barthelmess' fine acting and the genuine loveliness of the Cuban settings. You probably know the story. A young American adventurer, (Barthelmess) becomes involved in the Cuban uprising and discovers that Cuban women are fascinating and sometimes false. Dorothy Gish as La Clavel, the Spanish dancer, is pretty and charming, but a Yankee throughout, thus proving that Richard knew what he was about when he so bitterly opposed the casting of Miss Gish for the role. Mme. Jetta Goudal gives a splendid characterization of a Chinese spy. Richard Barthelmess has never v. . been more handsome -r" or debonair.
