"Is It Worth Seeing?" is the Question Everybody Asks It For You. Follow This Department of Short and Snappy
Sonny Boy
Sonny Boy — beg pardon, Davey Lee — has conquered New York again. But this time there's no Al Jolson to father him. However, Gertrude Olmstead as his mother, Betty Bronson as his auntie and John T. Murray as his sneezing dad, provide an excellent background for this child whose dramatic like hasn't been seen since Master Jackie Coogan. You'll like this film because it's so sophisticated. That more than capable trouper, Edward Everett Horton, gives a performance as smooth as velvet; but everybody was good — the policeman, the night guest, his supposed dizzy wife — everybody! Real entertainment, I call this one.
Lone Wolfs Daughter
Here we have, ladies and gentlemen, Bert Lytell as a gentleman crook, reformed. Lytell falls for Getrude Olmstead and so the excitement begins — Gertrude not being given to criminal society. Lytell as always is fine. Robert Elliott as the detective gives another of his splendid characterizations, and my, but Gertrude Olmstead looks pretty!
The Girl on the Barge
Except for the melodramatic ending, this film of life on an Erie canal boat is excellent. Jean Hersholt, the bargeman. Sally O'Neil as his daughter, and Malcolm McGregor, the lover, are fine. The pictorial effects along the water front, the storm and the rescue are tremendous. A cut beyond the ordinary!
Cohens and Kellys in Atlantic City
This picture with George Sidney, Mack Swain, Kate Price, and Vera Gordon, worked out along the same old Hebraic-Erin lines, is only fair. With its Atlantic City background, it had a chance to prove amusing, but it's not. Sidney gave a good show and Nora Lane is pretty. But that's all today!
A Woman in the Night
If you like drama, here it is. A picture which deserves a real hand. Maria Corda loves her husband, Jameson Thomas, and proves it — thereby nearly wrecking her happiness and incriminating an innocent bystander, Paul Cavanagh. These three do distinguished work. Maria looks very lovely.
