THE MYSTERIES OF INDIA — Paramount.
GERMAN importation -but this need not cause our American producers any anxiety. You will be asleep before yon find out what all the mystery is about. However, there is some good acting to recommend it. The cast includes Mia May.
THE MASQUERADER— First National <J IiV most studios, the scenario editor keeps a mallet hanging within reach for writers who bring in stories based on the coincidence of two persons looking alike. But Guy Bates Post has, in his first screen offering, given us this bromidic situation. But The Masquerader is so well handled by Director Richard Walton Tully, its author, that it surpasses any ordinary photoplay of similar plot.
An unusually well-chosen cast supports Post, including Ruth Sinclair, Edward M. Kimball, Mania Manon, Barbara Tennant and Herbert Standing.
THE COUNTRY FLAPPER— Gish
HE only excuse for this picture is that it admits its lack of plot, otherzvisc, not even the pantomime of Dorothy Gish could save it from being stupid. The titles are the only bright spots, but they wane very soon. Glenn Hunter is the flipper and ideal porch petter. If you don't mind being grownup, this baby food might appeal to you.
HEART'S HAVEN— Federal
q Benjamin b, Hampton calls on the old hopeand-faith chest, producing another imitation MiraclePlay. Only in this instance they've changed the sex and cut the garments to fit Mother instead of the grand old man of the first and only good miracle play we ever saw. If only every motherin-law in real life could work the wonders this one does! A rehash of old hokum, but presented with a certain artistry of touch that characterises Mr. Hampton's productions zvhen he's in this philosophic mood. Claire Adams and Carl Gantvoort are pretty puppets, but Claire McDowell as Mother the Miracle Lady, steals the picture. Her work has dignity and sincerity that give structure to the whole fabrication.
