"Now let me die! There is no we'd
ding ring upon my fngerl' However,
after the young doctor had forgiven
her for proposing that he lead
shameless existence Sybil offered him
marriage and decided to let the fortune
go.
The best work in the picture is done
by Clare du Brcy. If we were pro
ducer we should Immediately ask MISS
du Brey if she wouldn't like TO star
for us. She plays the French ma,d,
and her performance is the highest
spot in the picture. How often we see
a picture which starts of so nice 1nas az
we feel here at last is going to be
something good! And then it does oil
sorts of things that we don't want it to
do. About the time that the Grip
pied sister began to throw her things
on the floor and cry for more money to
spend, we should like to take the
ordeal" and shatter it to bits and then
remod IL nearer to our hearts desire:
Brother and sister would be allowed
$100 each and thrown out into the
world to shift for themselves, and then
tho nice old nurse would not have to
be killed off by inhaling flames. The
last part Of the picture became quite
borcsome and the best people in the
cast had nothing to do, viz, Shannon
Day and Adele harrington. Clarence
Burton is the brutal husband. Conrad
Nogel is the young physician, Edward
Sutherland and Edna Murphy are the
thankless brother and sister. Ann
Schaefer is the nice old black nanny
who gets killed in the fire. Paul Pow
ell directed the picture and Beulah
Mario Dix made the scenario from Mr..
Mahgham's story.
A revived picture Of Charlie Chap
Inns is called "The Count This isn't
as funny as some of his old comedies,
and it doesn't seem as funny as it did
when we first saw it. Perhaps the
censors have been busy at it. Tony
Sarg has another one OF his silhouette
comedies called "'rhe First Earful," and
there is a music film called South Sea
Savage Dance" with Martha Graham.

garian Rhapsody
Probably because Rudolf Valentino
lis in it, "Once to Every Woman" has
been revived by Carl Laemmle at the
Central Theater. 1t is picture, how
ever, that we'll deserves revival. and
although we figure that it must have
been made about four years ago 1t Is
so much better than most Of tho pro
gram pictures which are put ont nov
that it is pleasure to watch it. Al
though at that time the loves Of Val
cntino had not occupied the stellar
position on the screen and in the daily
press that they now occupy, he was an
excellent actor. He was cast as hot
headed Latin who falls in love with
Dorothy Phillips, and when she will
not marry him he shoots her, her lover
and himself. Miss Phillips was excel
lent at that time, too, and she gives q
charming performance of the country
girl who became a grand opera singer;
also it took her fve years to achieve
famc-fvc years Of hard which
is so different from most movie
! hcroines, who can become a diva, bal
erina or a noted actress over night
The cast is we'll chosen, the story is
plausible and the direction is good
! Robert Anderson, who did such excel
lent work in a war picture which Allan
Holubar made and then seemed to drop
out of sight, is the hero. Frank Elliot
is excellent as the Duke of Devonshire
and Margaret Mann, Ehnor Field and
Mary Wise all do good work Allan
Holubar directed the picture.
