MARRIED PEOPLE— Hodktiisoti
q NELL MARIE DACE, a stenographer, was awarded $10,000 bv a Chicago newspaper for her scenario of Married People, starring Mabel Ballin, the girl with the Benda eves. Whether the story tvas worth that much money is something the individual will have to judge for himself. We arc of the opinion it was not. Married People consists of regular movie hash without garnishings. It is conventional, lacks suspense and dramatic interest, and adds nothing reallv new to filmdom. An exceptionally wellchosen cast supports Miss Ballin, whose acting is not sincere enough and becomes mediocre in the few dramatic scenes the play affords. The photography is very satisfying, the sets 'artistic. Hugo Ballin directed the picture, 'which is the best thing to be said for it.

_ THE SIREN CALL— Paramount q F ANS accustomed to associate stories of the Northwest with buckets of blood, half-breed villains and fluffy dogs, will find Dorothy Dalton's latest vehicle running almost true to form. The first two reels rival a hot-water bag as a sleep producer. Action then speeds up some. Dorothy Dalton makes the best of her role and is supported by David Powell, Edward J. Brady and Michell Lewis. A Northern picture that may appeal to Southerners.
THE DUST FLOWER— Goldwyn q A.NOTHER romantic little Cinderella fairytale. My, how many clothes that popular child has-' Basil King togs her out in new garments, with a fairy godfather in the person of that consummate actor, Claude Gillingwater, but his story is the same old hokum, nevertheless. Helene Chadwick is quite adorable and almost makes you believe it's so.
(Left) HURRICANE'S GAL
— First National
q DOROTHY PHILLIPS returns to the screen on the bounding waves of a smashing good melodrama. No pink tea fight is this hurricane of a tempestuous miss and her contraband-ship, spectacular fires at sea and falling aeroplanes. With the aid of the U. S. Navy and wireless stations, Allen Holubar puts over an old talc in modern guise, with a thrill-a-minute schedule. The splendid characterization of Dorothy Phillips, zvho inherits a contraband-ship and a predilection for guns, and the presence, of ihe schooners and real naval officers in the sea-fights
/ give the melodrama much of its appeal. Of one thing
' be sure — there's no fake about it.
