Judging The Movies by Carroll Carroll Siegfried—A white, Nordic, Protestant legend —magnifi- cently screened in Germany, where they may not make them bigger, but do make them better. The Merry Widow—The old waltz Von Stroheimed into an interesting film, with Mae Murray blonder and _ better than ever. . The Phantom of the Opera— Dirty work in and about the Paris Opera House, with Lon Chaney hideously made-up as Lon Chaney hideously made- up. The Wanderer—The prodi- gal son and his little Baby- lonian sweetie. Gretta Ni sen’s take-off as the Priestess of Ishtar is just a little short of everything. “Have you seen Bob lately?” “About six weeks ago.” “When you see him again, remind him that we are engaged, will you, dear?” —London Opinion The — Freshman——Harold Lloyd in a tail-spin. A bur- lesque of college life, love and letters way below the star’s standard, The Man on the Boa—Syd Chaplin, Charlie’s brother, for- merly “Charlie’s Aunt,” an- swers Mr. Shakespeare’s ques- tion what’s in a name. A dull comedy that leaves noth- ing of Mr. MacGrath’s story but the box. The Circle—Better, the semi- circle. Mr. Maugham’s play with its point almost ampu- tated. Nevertheless, an amus- ing comedy. The Gold Rush—Chaplining through the Klondike with sentiment and slapstick. Don Q. Son of Zorro—An entirely worthy sequel to “The Mark of Zorro.” One of Fair- banks’ best! Sally of the Sawdust—Reap- ing the W. C. Fields of laughter, and some harvest, with Carol Dempster as Sally, once “Poppy” of musical com- edy fame. Horrible Harry—Ladies and gentleman, as my last collection amounted to only one penny, I shall sing again! ~—Passing Show o o o °o Oo foo) Oo o oO oO o o oO o o o o oO oO o o o oO °o o °o o o o o oO o Oo o o o o o oO °o o o ° oO o o oO °o o ° o o o o °o °o o o o 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 comicbooks.com i H
