Screen Opinions (1923-24)

44 SCREEN OPINIONS TELLS THE TRUTH Harron, Uncle Steve’s nephew, fretting under Uncle Steve’s determination to prevent him from marrying a chorus girl. The sets of the picture are artistic, but at times neither illumination nor photography are quite up to the mark. STORY OF THE PLAY « Jerry La Mar, a girl of the chorus, decides to aid her friend in preserving her romance with Wally Saunders, the nephew and heir of Stephen Lee. In order to carry out her plan successfully she sets out to make Uncle Steve part with his money, and in the flow of incidents he gets the impression that she is the girl Wally is in love with. Posing as a “gold digger,” she easily persuades Uncle Steve that she is one of the commonest type of women. But Jerry’s plans do a double turn, for Uncle Steve falls in love with her and she with him. And the close of the story, in which Jerry’s home life with an old-fashioned mother is revealed, she is about to become the wife of millionaire Stephen Lee. PROGRAM COPY — “The Gold Diggers” — Featuring Hope Hampton Jerry La Mar framed herself into a real game of matrimony when she tried digging coin from rich men’s wallets. Hope Plampton is charming in this sparkling adaptation of the successful Belasco play.
