Charlie Chaplin in a custard-pie comedy which is ineffably funny—the funniest picture, in fact, that any one has ever made. Simba. A fabulous number of wild animals, photographed at close range by the enterprising Martin Johnson and wife. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. A faintly amusing counterfeit of Anita Loos’s masterpiece, with plenty of cute young ladies on whom the eye may be feasted. Beau Sabreur. More about the For- eign Legion in Africa, but don’t expect this one to come within hailing distance of “Beau Geste.” The Devil Dancer. Gilda Gray goes into her dance and partially redeems an otherwise feeble drama of the Orient. Wife Savers. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton are comical in this. The Silver Slave. Another tearful mother réle for Irene Rich. A Texas Steer. The doings of a cowboy in Congress, enlivened by the keen humor of Will Rogers. The Dove. Norma Talmadge as a little native girl who speaks broken English and becomes involved in numer- ous difficulties with Noah Beery. On Your Toes. A Reginald Denny farce, similar to the famous “Leather Pushers,” but longer. Serenade. Adolphe Menjou as a flighty musician in a Grade-A comedy. West Point. If you've seen one Wil- . liam Haines picture, you've seen them all. Man, Woman and Sin. John Gilbert as a gullible newspaper reporter who gets into trouble. Intelligently directed by Monta Bell. The Gaucho. One can’t help wishing that Douglas Fairbanks would leave the preaching to Cecil B. De Mille. Sunrise. The first result of F. W. Murnau's visit to Hollywood—and an ex- traordinary achievement it is, too. | Its dramatic strength is increased materially by the fine work of Janet Gaynor and George O'Brien. Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The thrill is still there. Love. If you saw John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in “Flesh and the Devil,” you'll probably insist on seeing this. Wings. A swift and rather gruesome melodrama of the war in the air, dis- tinguished by the performances of Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen. R: ELS. Tyranny Under Mussolini A necent despatch from Milan, con- cerning the premiére of the opera “Sly,” states that “the artists were forced to take eighteen curtain calls.” As Roget might have elaborated, “the artists were, at the point of the bayonet, under a lash, against one’s will, under protest, in spite of one’s teeth, forcibly, by a strong arm, coerced into taking eighteen curtain calls.” —New York World, SEE CALIFORNIA FOR 25c California “Eden, World's most beautiful trarelog all color book, yimclpal, cites potnta_ of interest; Information: ‘romantic ory, marvelous. growth, Berity, climate, soil, business | oppor ar reuiteg seeaio products: ‘posta! repie 4 Los Angeles, Calif.
