Action, story and treatment are of the passe sort, minus sound. Similarity of title to Pathe's "Mother's Boy," all-talker with a Broadway date under its belt, may carry some weight here or there, perhaps much more than the pic- ture Itself. False impersonation is the basis of the story, but done as In the past with righteous intent.. Two youths are partners in thievery. They're clipped and one la shot. Other es- capes, donning his partner's iden- tity and deciding to see the mother of pard. Mother and son have been separated for 16 years. Goes straight, with help from the usual girl. That the real son, who is a bad boy, shows up, fails to ruin the evening. Complete lack of physical resem- blance in the two men makes the faker's . successful impersonation really amazing. It's the only food for thought in the picture. Mary Carr couldn't do a bad mother part if she had to. ..Jobyna Ralston is the girl and Jason Ro- bards the good boy, though doubt- ful that either la bragging about it. Bige. WOMAN IN WHITE (BRITISH MADE) (Silent) Produced by British and Dominions Film Corporation; distributed by World Wide. Produced and directed by Herbert Wilcox, from the story by Wllkle Collina. Scenario by Herbert Wlicox and Robert CuUen. Titles by Wllkle Collins. Photography by David KCASon. Starring Blanche Sweet. At Stanley, New York, one day. May 24.

Fosco Mina Grey Mrs. Catherick,.; Irene' Rooke Anna Catherick..,. .Blanche Sweet It's one Of those horrifying mys- tery stories, fulfilling its mission in America with one day at the Stan- ley, 7th avenue grindery, at 2Bc. ••"'"PreBunra:bly-a*heavy-8ale''0f~mys- tcry fiction in England at the presT ent time, and this figured to lilt tho public just about right over yonder. Not a chance on this side. Stolid, stark mystery, unrelieved by comedy, entertainment or lively action. Mostly explained in sub- titles. Direction awful. Backs con- tinually kept tg the front. . Lov9 interest cold. Opening of story slow and needlessly long. Story in Itself leaky and Uninterest- ing. It seems, of all things, that the beautiful young heiress prdinlses her dying father that she will mapry the positively impossible Sir Per- clval e'en though her heart has gone to another, Everyone feels the meany looking Sir Perclval is no good and he ful- fills everyone's suspicions. He locks his new wife in her room^ has her terrified by an evil companion, and finally has her sent to a lunatic asylum, all for the sake of her money. Villainy of every conceivable typo as if there were no law or govern- ment in the whole of Great Britain. Impossible actions are never ex- plained, and the mysterious is never enthralling when this is not done. Blanche Sweet doesn't behave well In front of the camera, hindered also by Wilcox's direction and old-fash- ioned lights and settings. This picture may be considered a representative type of current Brit- ish production but useless over here except In grind houses as a filler. Uori. PHANTOM OF NORTH (SILENT) Biltmore (independent) production and state rights release. Directed by Harry Webb. Story credited Flora Douglas. In cast: Edith Roberts. Donald Keith. At Loew'e New York, one day. May 28, half of double teature. Running time, 48 min- utes. "Phantom of the North" Is a quickie that a home movie group wouldn't figure good box office, even for their friends In the parlor. The dime grinds may be able to rush this through, but others will Und biz kept away If they chance it. A bunch of nags and dogs sup' posed to be wild open it along Pathe's "Rex" lines. Then the mare leading the mob romps with a hound and eats sugar from a dame's hand, dispelling any call for the wild. Then an asinine shooting and murcler charges against an Innocent are dragged out with no. more ef- fectiveness than filler in a newsreel. LAUGHING AT DEATH (SILENT) FBO production and release. Directed by Wallace Fox. Starring Bob Steele. Pho- tographer, Virgil Baron. Cast Includes H. Joyce. Hector V. Soma, Ellon Ludlow and Lou Schmidt. At Tlvoll, New York, one doy, June 1. Running time, S5 mins. A small time picture with only the Falrbankian antics of Bob ^teele to recommend it. One continuous Jaw-socking. Story lifeless. Pho- toBTAPhy medlQC. Setting laugh- able. Steele plays dual role, that of crown prince of Libania and stoker working for college money. Saves the prince from assassins, belting their Jaws and receiving <M>minen dation from the royal one, who on'a secret mission to United States notes, as does hia prime minister, the amazing resemblance of himself to young stoker. To fulfill his mis- sion he thinks It best to change places with the coal heaver, who agrees, but is warned hts life Is In danger.
