. ROSE O' THE SEA— MayerFirst National /\n!TA STEWART must have rejoiced when the fade-out came — we did. A Countess Somebody wrote the story. Having seen it, we welcome all the high school writers. Anita is so good an actress that it is a shame to waste her talents on inferior material as they have been wasted the past year. This melodrama is even terrible as a farce.

q THE BONDED WOMAN— Paramount IJETTY COMPSON, with the aid of two good leading men— Richard Dix and John Bowers — does her best with an inadequate yarn, concerning the sea, that dribbles away to nothing. The attempt in the subtitles to effect deep, blue vernacular Is positively painful, even to a landlubber. Some good fight action and a few convincing water scenes help salvage It all.

,v» THE DICTATOR
W ALLIE REID, in a role that fits him as if Richard Harding Davis had made it to order for him — a rich man's son with a head of his own. Walter Long, champion screen villain, is a figure you will remember in a comedy part. Being Richard Harding Davis, of course it's a tale of bon vivas and banana revolutions. This is a movie almost anybody will like.
_ SONNY— Pirst National
IVlOTHER MACHREE again, but from a new angle. This mother gets an imitation son who poses as her own boy — but that doesn't, interfere with the spotlight's halo. The war scenes, while old stuff, are well handled and the naturalness of Richard Barthelmess makes one accept the sentimental flashes as incidental to a good picture. And while we're handing the conventional bouquet to Pauline Garon, the flapper, let's present a whole garden to Patterson Dial, the rather plain girl whose sincere portrayals are gems worth watching for In all the Barthelmess plays.
