J£j / ' s Go to You Movie Fans Want Your Money's Worth. Screenland's for Worth-While Entertainment. Read Them The Charlatan This mystery drama, full of oriental figures, off-stage screams and terrific thunderstorms, turns out to be a personal triumph for Margaret Livingston. Although she plays an unsympathetic role, Miss Livingston in appearance and acting shows herself to be as capable an actress as we have in the films today. While the picture is not in the 'big time' class, it will be more than worth your while to see it to catch a glimpse of the new Margaret Livingston whose beauty and dramatic ability give verve and tilt to an otherwise old-fashioned melodrama. Featured with her are George Melford and Radclilfe Fellows. Girls Gone Wild Fast-stepping picture of youth gone plumb crazy. Sue Carol thought she wanted to be w-i-l-d until she got kidnapped by a bootlegging gang. Nick Stuart, the boy in the case, is a knockout. Fine supporting work by William Russell, Roy D'Arcy tnd John Darrow. Scandal Polo comes before the microphone in this talking picture. Huntley Gordon wields the mallet. Laura La Plante, as his wife, is the victim of wagging tongues. John Boles scores a neat goal as Laura's former lover. The film is old wine in new reels but pre-war strength! Children of the Ritz To "Dancing Daughters," add a lot of tomfoolery and whimsy and you get a quick idea of this film. It's Dorothy Mackaill's picture by -six reels. Jack Mulhall plays the boy, once a chauffeur, who tries to support Dorothy in all her glory. How that girl makes clothes live. Rainbow Man Eddie Dowling makes his first talking picture, with Marian Nixon, Frankie Darro and others. Despite Dowling's excellent singing and dancing, this film of back-stage minstrel show life left me cold. Darro is a fine trouper but too sophisticated. Nixon did admirable work and her voice reproduced splendidly. 76
