Wettsein, Leesburg, Fla. “Skinner’s Dress Suit” Pleases Even in Heat * * T SAW Reginald Denny and Laura I LaPlante in ‘Skinner’s Dress Suit’ at the Karlton Theatre last week.

Laura LaPlante as Olga gave a wonderful performance.” — Elmer Lafferty, Philadelphia, Pa. “Rolling Home” Is Best Of All Dennys C( A NOTHER great triumph for Reginald Denny! I have recently seen his latest film success, ‘Rolling Home.’ Every picture of Denny’s is better than th,e last, but I think this one is best of all. This is one of the most delightfully humorous films I have ever witnessed. I enjoyed the whole picture, especially the part where he tries to make a speech on ‘Natural Resources.’ This was one of the most humorous bits I have ever seen. One of the best things about Denny’s pictures is that they never lag throughout. They are always humorous and interesting. The chauffeur who played with Denny is one of the best comedians I have seen, excepting, of course, ‘Reggie’.” — Ralph Austad, Minneapolis, Minn. Wants More Pictures Like “Stella Maris” ((T MUST tell you that ‘Stella ^ Maris’ was one of the most beautiful picture I have seen. I believe Mary Philbin gives one of her best performances in ‘Stella Maris.’ She did wonderfully well in handling her dual role and she is to be congratulated upon her splendid work. You can be proud, Mr. Laemmle, that you have such a wonderful production to give to lovers of the silent drama. I am not finished with my praise of it. I hope you will make more pictures like jt in the future. ' — Miss Viola A. Jesse, Rapid City, S. D.

Through your column, I learned of ‘The Cohens and Kellys’ and kept an eye out for the announcement of its arrival here. It came the other day and afforded me the greatest amount of amusement I ever experienced from any movie. It is the first comedy I ever saw that was done to a turn, and not overdone .” — N.
