Enid Bennett in
"A Desert Wooinu"

New York social life and Western
civilization are again c~ontrasted in
"A Desert Wooing," a five-part Para
mount picture written by j. G. Hawks
and directed by Jerome Storm. Enid
Bennett, the little Australian actress
who was married recently to Fred
Niblo, is the star. Most of the mater
ial is familiar, but the love story is
interesting, and scenically the produc-
ton has many moments of beauty.
Edwin Willat was the cameraman.
Avice Bereton, the character play
ed by Enid Bennett, is a young socie-
ty girl whose mother and brother
have about run through all the family
possessions when Barton Masters, a
western millionaire, arrives in New
York and is introduced to the Bere-
tons. Masters is smitten with Avice
and marries her after a short court
ship. The girl accepts the westerner
solely on account of his wealth. Doc
tor Van Fleet, a man of good social
position, little money and less morals,
is in love with Avice and determines
not to give her up even after she is
another mans wife. The newly made
wife has always been attracted by
the doctor and is relieved when she
learns that he and her mother and a
party of friends are to accompany the
wedding party to the Masters ranch.
The young westerner is a strong,
dominant character, and soon wins
the respect of his wife. This feel
thing deeper when Van Fleet takes
advantages of Masters supposed alb
sence to force his attentions on Avice.
Masters enters the room and gives
the doctor a severe thrashing. He
then drives him from the house.
Thinking his wife is partly to blame,
Masters sends all his guests away
and makes her do the housework her
self. The couple are fully reconciled
after Van Fleet shoots Masters and
Avice shows her devotion to her hus-
band by stealing the doctors revolver
and compelling him 10 use his pro-
fessional skill to saws Masters life.
Enid Benefits part Is much strong
er than any she has yet played. Her
youth and beauty are quite as valu-
able as ever and she is very much in
earnest in everything she does. Her
expression of emotion is limited at
present, but the charm of her person
atty goes a long way toward making
up for the defect. Jack Holt rides
and acts Masters with dash and spirit.
Donald Macdonald as Doctor Van
Fleet, John p. Lockney as Keno"
Clark, Charles Spere as Billy Bereton
and Elinor Hancock as Mrs. Bereton
are all eXcellent.-Advt.

AT THE THEATERS
Mary Pickford in
"How Could You, Jear"

"How Could You, Jear"
Eleanor Hoyt Brainard wrote the
story of How Could You, Jean?" and
Frances Marion made the scenario
from it for Mary Pickford's Aircraft
screen production, directed by Will
liam D. Taylor. Charles Kosher was
the cameraman. The result is a dis
joined but for the most part highly
amusing screen story, with the star
doing bits of broad comedy at unex-
pected moments. One of the most un.
expected of these moments is when
a wicked he-goat advances RAPIDLY
from the south while Mary is gazing
moth and charges her so viciously
that she does a complete summersault
before losing her momentum.
Miss Pickford has other funny bits
of a less strenuous sort and a brief
touch of pathos when she puts on the
old-fashioned clothes that were worn
in. the long ago by her employers
daughter and soothes the last mo
ments of the dying man. There is
also a slight sprinkling of melodrama
as Mary dashes into a burning barn
and drags cut the family cow, stern
first.
How Could You, Jean?" has an
original heroine. Born and reared to
great wealth, when !.er income stops
and she is forced t. earn her own
living she takes stock of herself and
discovers that the only thing she
knows anything about is cooking; so
she goes to an employment office and
gets a job as cook. Not at the first
attempt, however. 1t is only after she
has dressed herself to correspond
with the other cook-ladies and claim
ed to come from Sweden that she
succeeds in getting herself hired out.
The Bonners, a scientifically inclin-
ed old couple too busy with bugs and
beetles to attend to their farm, en-
gage Jean TO get their meals and do
other odd chores about the place. The

er poverty-stricken h%eiress, but Jean
is one of those fortunate mortals who
can get fun out of anything or any
body, and two lovers, five small chill
dren, a dog, the COW and the all-too-
familiar goat furnish her with plenty
of amusing material. One of her ad-
mirers is the Swede hired man and
the other is young Ted Burton, the
son of a millionaire. Ted is so much
in love with Jean that he brides the
Swede to let him take his place on
the farm. Such devotion is entitled
to it's reward. He is shown embrace
ing Jean as the picture ends.
The construction of the story could
be vastly improved, but it's spirit is
good clean fun and the production
reveals country scenes Of quiet beauty
that are refreshing to the soul. Mary

and deft comic methods are given full
