TNICE PEOPLE— Wm. deMllle Special HE peccadillos of the idle rich: flasks, flappers and fashion, when done by a deMllle, are always entertaining. This picture Is no exception. But It would have helped had not Wallace Reid been dragged in to depict an impossible —for him — characterization. The screen. Wallie Is certainly not the type to reform fast young daughters of the rich. The usual profligate deMille array of popular players greet you In various guises. "Nice People," of course, mean* that they aren't.
GTHE PRIMITIVE LOVER— First National. IVE Constance Talmadge about six changes of wardrobe — including slippers and hosiery — and she can't help scintillating.

But you should see the California bungalow on the top of a New York tenement — that, at least, is something different.
THE HALF BREED— First
„ National On a FigureEight plot this scenic railway invades Mexico with many a jump and dip. Hold onto your hat and you may get a kick out of the chill -con -came actors. Very exciting — if you can believe It. Mary Anderson is the paprika, pippin and Wheeler Oakman Is the gentleman -who-fights. Plenty of pep— but it leaves you wondering what it was all about.
