LES OM PRODUCTION... i staid. lw: 5,555 feet Very good treatment of the comedy angles of this has made it a pleasing picture. Director Withey has injected a lot of spirit into the last half of the picture
and the results are that it holds the interest, though through entirely different means than the majority of Norma Talmadge’s pictures. “She Loves and Lies” affords her none of the emotional opportunities than the authors of her previous subjects have been careful to contrive for her.
Marie Callender, possessed of a small fortune left her by an aged admirer, hears that Ernest Lismore is failing in business. Lismore had once rescued her from a burning building but had never seen her face. Marie on the other hand is quite in love with him. She visits his office in the disguise of an old woman and proposes that he marry her to save his business and that she may come into possession of the rest of her money. Desperate, Lismore consents.
He lives quite apart from his wife and Marie now finds herself in the position of loving a husband who is unaware of her real identity. So she poses then as June Daye, an artist, and manages very successfully to win his love in this guise. Then it’s only a matter of letting Lismore know that his wife and June are one and the same and this is done with good humorous sense and the picture closes.
Miss Talmadge makes a very charming figure of Marie Callender and of June Daye and is at first quite
well disguised as the grand old dame. But when she removes her spectacles and disregards her imp most people are going to fear for Lismore’s eyesight as it seems impossible for him not to recognize her as the same June he is in love with. In this respect the pic
ture again savors of the one-reel comedy.
