The Opinion
ONE OF THE BEST OF RECENT TOM MIX FEATURES — WHOLESOME COMEDY
By reason of one unsavory supper party which develops into an inartistic leg show, we have marked this otherwise excellent picture, for adults only. Barring the one illuminative but risque feature “Ladies to Board” is an exceptionally wholesome and entertaining picture. It presents Tom Mix at his best. The situation that brings Tom Faxon and his pal east to an old ladies’ home opens with a thrill when Tom guides a runaway automobile down a mountain side. Gertrude Claire makes a hit as the mother of a dissipated artist, and Phil McCullough gives a good performance as the neglected son. Gertrude Olmsted is attractive in the feminine lead. You can bank on “Ladies to Board” giving satisfaction.

The Opinion
DOUGLAS MAC LEAN AT HIS BEST
One of the hits of the season, we believe, is “The Yankee Consul,” featuring Douglas MacLean. The star never has been quite so funny as in the role of Dudley Ainsworth vainly trying to solve the! mystery surrounding a pretty girl who is/ ever callingj to him for help from behind closed doors. Glimpses of her face at a window or a note slipped into his hand as she passes, serves to heighten the color of the romance. Patsy Ruth Miller as the mystery girl, is fascinating and capable. Eric Mayne, Arthur Stuart Hull, George Periolat, and in fact each member of the cast is deserving of praise for their excellent aid in putting the story across. “The Yankee Consul” is without question one of /the season’s best. One of the thrills of the picture is a runaway automobile driven by the star down a mountain road.
