K5)
THE OLD HOMESTEAD— Paramount
^ THE profusion of heart-touching human interest, lavished by a fine cast of players, brings this old-time "meld" little short of a screen masterpiece. Every character binds the interest, but above them aU rises Theodore Roberts as "Uncle Josh" in one of the keenest parts the forty-year veteran has ever played on the screen. The life of the early eighties finds little sympathy from today's generation, zohich will fill most of the theatre scats, so again, as in Way Down East, we see the hint of mockery in semi-burlesque. So go not to revere and admire but to chuckle.
THE VEILED WOMAN— Renco-Hodgkinsou
q Beneath the \midbox
officc title, Myrtle Reed's novel, Spinners in the Sun, is presented with a wealth of pathos which somehow grips you, in spite of the spectral veiled lady weirdly present. It isn't a pink silk and tissue lace picture — it is murky, and the processional of the veiled woman has at times a grotesque effect. Nevertheless, it is well done on the whole and marks Marguerite Show's return to the screen'. Whether she acts well or not we can't say, for she doesn't shed her veil until the last scenes. Which makes it an easy job for Marguerite. (And here's a suggestion for other producers — why not put more of their actresses behind the veil?)
BURNING SANDS— Paramount
A Discriminating playgoers win be disappointed in this tin-panny, Sheik-flavored offering. It possesses picturesque scenes of white-robed Arabs performing assorted iniquity and gives Milton Sills and Wanda Hawley unconvincing roles. A striking instance of a . supporting player "stealing the picture" occurs in the conspicuously excellent performance of Jacqueline Logan as Lizette, a girl of Cairo's night life. A feiu dollars more worth of story-building would have made of this an attractive entertainment — even though it is an encore to The Sheik.
WHEN SUMMER COMES— Scnnctt-First National
«5 W/^H Billy Bevan, Mildred June and an elongated Ford Mack Sennett shakes up another comedy cocktail. Of course, it hasn't any sense, but who wants sense in a comedy? We recommend this for bad cases of pessimistis.
