COMEDY-DRAMAS ARE
NEW FILM OFFERINGS
"Betty to the Rescue" With Fan
ME Ward, Is Pretty, but
Longish
BY the Photoplay Editor

RUBY--"Betty TO the Para
mount, with Fannie Ward and Jack Dean.
story by Beatrice A. De Mile and Letghtoh
Ostnun. Directed by Frank Reichter. Photo-
graphed by Dent Gilbert.
Fannie Ward is getting as ubiquitous as
the capering Chaplin or the prancing Pick
ford Here we have her in the role Of
young California mink, who goes through
the familiar dramatic evolution OF teasing
her guardian; nearly beggaring him, and
finally falling in love with him. What Is
known as "comedy-drama," you see. To
give the slender plot some zest, the authors
have put in a vllainous mine inspector. who
deceives Bettys father into thinking him
self pauper before he dies and who tries
to win Betty. The picture has good deal
Of sunlit charm and is often prettily played
and set. But five reels of such material is
going it rather strong, especially when the
extra time can be rpent in noting painted
backdrops Miss Ward, preserving her
famous figure and curls, displays with the
most astonishing regularity a pair of per-
sonable legs. Jack Dean greatly improves
on former roles by being grown-up this
time. Charles West is well cast as the
rascal The camera work and printing are
both meritorious.

SANOY--"Thc Man who Took Chance"
Rluohird. with Frnnlyn Farnum. Directed
by William Worthinuton

Another comedy drama" this time with
n double "kck' at the end 1t Is one OF
those yarns with surprise the chief ele-
ment-thc sort OF thing that writer's for the
stage call "melofarce." In the present in
stance the punch" of utter astonishment
is not quite as sudden or sharp as 1t might
be- though the situations have been fairly
well handled. The entire production Will
serve for programs where stress is put upon
easy comedy and fast action, rather than on
absolute originality of idea and treatment.
The acting Is commensurate with the fea-
turc's merits, far better than in Mr.. WORTH
ington's last picture, THE Devils Pay Day."
May one. however suggest to him fewer
close-ups, especially when he is featuring his
current starred player?
