Tbe theme has not much action. College boys drlYin^ up to Aunt Kate's (Louise Fazenda) ' gas sta- tion alCord an exchange of a few lines between Kate and the post- man on the difference In times. The letter Is opened and, .In cut-and- drled fashion, Auntie has an order for 10 grand, covering ditmages in an accident years back, At the camihjs, where Auntie Is shown as chaperone for Babs, the heroine Is sized up as a lioit number and the school don tries his stuff. .'William Bakewell as Mack Mornn makes a good job of this vole. The rest of the story Is given over to Babs showing Mack that she can gather Just as many hearts. It's all done In a very conventional way. One sequence, the nearest to being ■'hot," Is where Babs and Mack take refuge In a hut during a storm. An ' undress sequence is introduced, each gesture indicating that the move is for clothes drying. Other students drive up. Apparently as an after- thought one of them gets socKea by Mack after a series of innocent re- niarks. A solo dance by Babs at n party where many glasses are lifted Is also quickly tailored to Hays' re- quirements. Mack takes the little girl home and feeds her stuft out of flask. Then the truth conies out. The pretended vamp aldmlts that she is just a country girl, while the sheik reveals his honest nature'. As for the flask, Mttck confesses it con- tained only cold tea and Babs really never had a drink. One of the most amusing se- quences has to do with Miss Fa- zenda's activities In a skating nnk. Her falls and jams will get laughs out of any type of fan. Waly. THE KID'S CLEVER (SILENT) Universal production and' release. Star- ring Glenn Tryon. DlActed by William J. Craft.

Except in smaller towns Alice White's latest vehicle hasn't the sus- taining power.f, unless the adults are misled by the title, to pull for over, two days.

This time he's In one of those chase- me pictures, driving frantically in" and out traffic demonstrating a freak automotive contraption which runs on land and sea, deriving Its power from the air. He is the In-t ventor arid falls for the daughter of a motor magnate, who becomes in- terested in his invention. Picture opens with Tryon as 'Bugs" Raymond, inventor, tire salesman and soda fountain pro- prietor. He has Inventions for everything.

Home town turns out for the celebration and Tryon is oi) the spot wlfh a; big speech. Test of motor nearly kills magnate. Helper' bribed by other motor interests. Girl sticks to him despite trouble; Tryon's assistant breaks down and'- confesses the double cross. Boy and girl theA approach father. Says it'0 too late, he has signed contract for other motor. Tryon takes the old man in his car and pursues the villain with the paper. . Captures him and winds up in girl's arms. Photography poor. Picture a rep- lica of all the traffic chase cinemas seen before. Only novelty is the freak boat, which has been done in short comedies, (3ood for small tlm« audiences.

With the grinds in some parts! of the country beginning to suffer from a shortage of silent pictures everything goes to fill a>0i. quality doesn't figure. This picture now stands a better chance on general bookings in the daily grinds than it did before, owing to the cut in production. It is an outdoor picture with the story of the opposition to the new dam, The villain looks like a good- natured, harmless soul excepting that he needs a .shave.
