IeplesS WOOlng, RECKLESS Kisses, a
risky papa who is his sons rival
these are some of the features of
Bryant Washburn's hilarious Para
mount comedy, "An Amateur Devil"
1t Is said Mr.. Washburn has the best
role OF his screen carer Gin this pic
ture. n May, who was with Char
les Ray in Paris Green" plays .op-
posite the star.
Both his father and his girl were
dlsguested because his love-making
had all the fervor of a bottle of
lemon soda.
Dad was somewhat of a stopper in
his early days and to make his son
wake up, creates the impression that
he is after the same girl, with matri-
monial intent.
And then things happen thick and
fast to make can Amateur Devil' an
entertainment that will surely be en-
joyed.
Dustin Farnum.
"Durand of the Bad Lands is one
OF the best western pictures seen
here, and Dustin Farnum, always a
favorite, has in the role of Dick Du-
rand one of his greatest parts. Will
liam Fox has staged the production
with excellent taste and the direc-
ton by Richard Stanton is exception
ally fine.
"Durand of the Bad Lands" is a
real western story in the sense that
the public understands the word ives
tern. There is all of the dash and
he thrill in it that there was in the
early days of the great west. The
scenes are laid chiefly on the Mexi-
can border n the action starting
with the very first scene, continues
without abatement until the end.
Winifred Kingston makes a de-
lightful heroine.
Tsuru Aoki.
All the romance and mystery of
the Orient, combined with the fire
and dash of the Occident, give to
THE Breath of the Gods" a wide ap-
peal to the audience. Tsuru Aoki,
the Japanese Bernhardt of the screen
who became so popular as leading
woman with Sessue Hayakawa, has
the principal role in this feature, and
proves her right to be a real star.
Fer acting is exquisite throughout.
Gladys Leslie.
THE Midnight Bride" bristles with
entertainment. AS its title suggests
it is a picture that treats of the sen
sational adventure of a secret we'd
ding. The thought of marriage is in
itself full of appealing interest.
When this exploit is linked with
the original fact of a marriage ac-
compilshed with a marriage license
made out to a diffrent person han
the bride in the case, it assumes
great dramatic Importance.
"The Midnight Bride" therefore,
has its greatest entertainment value
from the u~nusualness of its story.
Gladys Leslie is a charming little
star who has nationwide appeal
Inside the Cup.
Winston Churchhill's celebrated
novel, "The Inside of the Cup" in
the screen adoption is an even
stronger, more dramatic expose of
the hypocrisy OF some 'so-called "pil-
lars of the church" than the book de-
scirption. 1t is a tense, absorbing
production, based on the Biblical mar
rative of "whited sepulchres that out
wardly are beautiful but inwardly
are full of dead mems bones and u n
cleanness."
The characters for the most part
are typical of big business interests
who control the pulse strings of in
dustrial, financial and the economic
life of the big cities; whose princi-
pal current in life is dividends;
whose religion is a cloak for Sunday
righteousness, while on Monday they
