BLUE LAW IN FRANCE Lawyer—They’ll probably have pity on you and acquit you of poisoning your wife, but they'll con- vict you for practicing pharmacy on Sunday. —Le Petit Bleu see if I can stand the wages of cinema said I'd better be careful about see- ing The Phantom if it was as thrilling as advertised. I took digitalis, and a few other heart balms, and saw it anyway. And I only got two thrills. The first was the answer to a young man’s prayer. I was the young man. The prayer was to know what would happen if one of those enormous theater chandeliers fell. The one in the Paris Opera did and now I’m no longer interested in that phase of the law of gravita- tion. The second excitement ar- rived when Lon Chaney’s make-up was disclosed along about an hour and a quarter after the film had begun. The scenes in The Phantom dre all in and about the Paris Opera House, which was reconstructed especially for the occasion at aprodig- ious cost. This leads me to say (although I don’t know why) that not even the advertising man for Ideal Boilers could have thought of a sweller cellar than the Opera House has. I hope after this when Mr. Laemmle advertises a picture for a solid year and gets me all cooked up over it he’ll bring me to a boil in- stead of letting me cool off like a plate of restaurant soup. The bigger they come the barder they'll fall in this department. Take “The Wanderer,” at the Cri- terion, for instance. I don’t want it. It’s big, in a large and aggressive way, the natural follow-up of “The Ten Commandments.” Great gobs of Babylon are visible to the naked eye, and large portions of Baby- lonian women. The picture is ex- ploited as “‘glorifying the Babylonian girl.” Greta Nissen, whose one emotion I spoke of before, does rather ter- ribly in the part of Tisha, the High Priestess of Something-or-other. The emotion I have since pigeon- holed in a special little slot labeled “coyosity.” Buster Collier, now William Collier, Jr., is a nice lad to look at but no great shakes as an actor. Only Ernest Torrence stands out in another notable performance, that of Tola, the grafter and en- trepeneur of the charms and delights of Tisha to Babylonian gentlemen of means. Jockey’s Wife (since yesterday)—I-I-don’t think G-George can love me any m-more. He didn’t even wave! — Passing Show (London) a) Are you aware of the thousands upon thousands of dollars tl are being made every year on a national menace?—the menace of FIRE!
