PHOTOPLAY HINGES
ON VIOLIN RECITAL
Bessie LoUe Has Chief Role
IN Forget Me Not

Forget Ne Not" the Metro photo
play which has started an indefinite
engagement at the Criterion this week,
fails to be as convincing as might be
expected Of an otherwise we'll done pic
ture. because its pivotal point hinges
on violin recital and an attempt to
translate the same into pictures. Such
instrumental performances in the movies
are never credible-haIf the time one
doesn't believe the performer saving
away so frantically at the wood can
play the instrument. and sometimes the
fact that the actor forgets to finger
his strings confirms the impression.
Miss Bessie Love does handle her
violin as II she had more than a bow
ing acquaintance with Il. And the
medieval love scene that her selection
is supposed to interpret is charmingly
done by her and Gareth Hughes. who
looks eminently fitted for Shakespeare
until he comes into point blank range
at closeup. But the girls recital Is
supposed to raise her to eminence. to
restore her wandering lover to his rea-
son and to her arms. and to bring back
the mother who left her as a foundIing
in childhood-and it doesn't seem as II
Paganinfs bow could have established
all these miracles at once
But the audience isn't actually swept
away by her playing to the point OF
raising her on her shoulders I'm the
fashion that so many movie audiences
are represented as doing at recitals
where new genius is acclaimed. They
| merely applaud in a reasonable. human
manner. That same atmosphere OF
sweet reasonableness Is maintained
through the picture-through the scenes
| where Miss Love and Hughes act their
charming childhood courtship In the
asylum. through the moment where
the mother rejects unwittingly the girl
whom she has abandoned because she
has grown up slightly lame-up TO the
final fadeout. where the reunited young
couple Is left on the stoop bashfulIy
talking instead of making the conven.
tional calves eyes at each other.

STRANGER TO AMERICA
LOST IN BATHING SUIT
Wanders at Coney Looking
for Friends and Clothes.

Abraham Menowltz, 26. who saw the
Statue OF Liberty for the first time last
week wher he arrived from England
by the Lapland. accompanied five Bronx
friends to Coney Island yesterday and
got lost because Of a girl
Menowitz and his friends had gone
bathing. leaving their clothing at q
bath house. Menowitz had not splashed
around long before he made the ac-
quaintance of girl. Sometime later
Pstrolman Thomas Ross found him rum
ming up and down the beach complaining
that he had lost his friends, didn't know
where his bath house was and couldn't
recall the address OF his friends.
Meanwhile one of the five had re-
turned TO the bath house and, finding
Menowitz's clothes stlll there and the
owner absent. reported that he had been
drowned. After three hours Menowitz
met one OF his companions at West
Twenty-eighth street and Mermaid
avenue.

to the fact that both stars played dual

tunes.
In both stories, the spirit of a dead
relative uses her influence to change the
love affairs of her molern descendant
the Irish girls blighted relative having
been her aunt, while in the present case
II IS a great-grandaunt, thus indicating,
doubtless, how the movies are progress
ing. But in Miss Talmadge's picture
both young women were what Kikiswould
call good girls Here the two, who
bear the close resemblance that some
times happens-in the movies-are bit
well. off the edge.
Children are introduced into this latest
tale to complicate matters. The mid
Victorian young wife Is about to elope
with the half brother of her dour, elderly
lses ship her house burns down. and, over
come with remorse at the death Of her
child. whom she has locked In, she
throws herself into the briny.
In order to expiate her sin and once
more meet her child In the spirit land,
her soul gropes through sort OF pur-
gatory until through the mouth of an
old crone she Is able to warn her modern
counterpart, who Is about to take flight
with a young man because her husband
baked at $500 dress bill. From the
highly educated viewpoint of q movie
fan. the woman of the earlier period
seemed justified in fleeing from her old
wasp of husband.
But the modern heroine takes the
lesson to heart and rushes away to the
military school where her son is. to be
reunited with her husband. who has just
taken 1t into his head to visit this in
stitutton at the odd hour Of midnight.
Because she suggests so much a Ma
donna, Miss Ayre looks extremely beau
tiful in the scenes of the borderland,
enhanced by a hint of a Mona Lisa
smile. The views OF this spirit world
are In themselves remarkably lovely,
even though they seem to consist largely
OF magnified commas and question
marks.
AhSSo views, anu tne carrier story,
nave been parenthetically introduced
into thes tory with exceptional Judgment,
and the picture might well appeal on this
alone, regardless Of whether you are
strong for Sir Conan Doyls's ideas or
not. Miss Ayres occasionally rises above
herself and does some authentic acting,
though usually she seems to be just on
the point of performing when the Mona
Lisa smile obtrudes. Milton Sills has
very little to do but smoke a pipe.

HARRY CAREY IN FILM
OF MEXICAN BORDER
Breaks In and Out of Jail, as
Is His Habit on Screen.

Harry Carey Is always getting into
jail--in the movies. So It was only to
be expected that in his hrst Independent
picture, The Kick-Back," at the Capitol
this week, this sportrayer Of Western
types would. in a story of his own fash
ieping. follow his bent and land in his
nj tural habitat. Indeed, he shows he
is becoming an expert at this sort of
thing by getting IN jail twice. thereby
making q new record for himself.
And to further emphasize the fact
that he Is coming to feel right at home
behind the bars. Carey started little
bowling alley IN his cell. with the help
of a bail and chain. He has been clapped
into prison across the Mexican boundary
through the Vaccinations Of the bale
ful boss Of the little American border
town. who covets Harry Reddin0's water
hole and the gin waitress he Is to
marry.
Carey Is helped to escape from Jail
In a somewhat original way and to get
back across the border by little Mexi-
can girl, and one Is glad to see that all
natives down there do not hold resent
ment against the gringoes. Here. it
seemed. lay Carey's opportunity to put
In his story little real suspense, aside
from the usual mechanical fights and
mad pursuit, for 1t appears that Con-
chito had taken fancy to him, judging
by the way she showed the whites Of
her eyes AMI her teeth at him.
One rather expected tha. the waitress
would go back on Reddin0 and the little
Mexican maid would win him, espe-
cially as Conchita, instead of the heroine.

despite the heaviest coat of tan ever laid
on in the movies. But Carey deliber-
ately throws away this interesting possi-
bility for being different, and after
some foolish excitement over a lynching
settles down with the waitress amid per-
feet bliss. principally supplied by a
phonograph with one record,
Carey's chief idea for depicting a part

The resemblance at this juncture to
Tom Moore's picture, Reported Miss
ing." is probably purely adventitious,
even though the newest picture follows
it to the point OF having an organ in
the main cabin. But it goes the Moore
picture one better by having wireless
set on the windjammer. through which
aid can be summoned when a mutiny
occurs and the heroine suddenly de-
velops the unexpected ability to radio
graph. Hence a naval. airplane and a
torpedo destroyer are sent scooting after
the ship. proving once more the power
OF Aim heroes to have the whole
strength of the Government turned over
to them at a moments notice. That
eliminating fight between the blue
jackets and the mutineers, besides be-
ing on as wholesome scale as In
Moore's vehicle, Is much rowdier and
more rousing.
The humor, on the other hand, Is not
of the deliberately hokum variety. but is
generally unconscious. Pictorially 1t Is
a very stirring photoplay. especially In
the views of the pursuit by the destroyer,
the shooting down of the airplane and
the burning OF the ship-nothing. you
see. being overlooked. The photography
is marvellous, and the various scenes are
spliced together with the skill Of sur
geon. 1t is on the histrionic side that 1t
is weak. and even such reliable villain
as Wallace Beery has fallen into the
general habit of "acting" for all the
camera can stand. Miss Phillips seems
deliberately to throw on every volt OF
emotion In her big" moments. You
know she's a wild. ferce creature from
the start because she reads Bernard
Shaw and smokes cigarettes. One
wouldn't have been surprised to see her
swallow the cigarettes whole.
Just why goat, a monkey and a
founding baby she picks up are intro
duced into the story Is hard to under
stand, except in order to use them N a

store window tableau. But for those who
like blood and thunder drama, shrewdly
done. this is their meat. After viewing

scraps, one staggers away from the pic

he deals with another conflict of that
type. but confines himself merely to a
large slice of a girls lifetime. though he
expands in another direction by appar-
emily covering the whole ocean.
BY the time the entire eight reels are
finished one feels as IL one had made
the personal acquaintance of practically
every wave in the Pacific. Certainly one
gets the impression that a large number
of those waves had been poured down
ones back. For there is quite the most
realistic hurricane in this picture ever
produced on the screen. with tons Of
water smashing over the side of a ship
so many tons one can't count them.
The picture. in fact, might have been
called Hurricane Gale" And Holubar
has directed 1t so skillfully here that one
can still follow the thread of the story
even when all that water is being slapped
in ones face. 1t is distinguished above
the average storm stories, in which the
high eas generally make a mess of
everything, including the continuity.
Heroine Grabs the Wheel.
At this point the heroine. grabbing
the wheel. steers the Samoa Belle to
safety, principally BY means Of a prayer.
AS 1t is stated to be her first prayer
in a rough and tumble existence. and 1t
is answered Immediately. this would give
her pretty high batting average
nothing less than 1000.
One wonders how much the success
of Moran of the Lady Lefty may
have led to the choice of Harvey
Gatess story of the wild woman who
ran smuggling craft. with the addi-
ton of a handsome young man, who
might easily be mistaken for Rodolph
Valentino, at least under the moonlight.
Miss Phillips wears overalls and tam
o'shanter, just like Dorothy Dalton, but
she swings a more wicked pistol, find
ing ite an effective means Of giving to
her the coveted last word. Indeed. all
her clothes, even to modish fur coat
she wears later. seem to have been de-
signed with a revolver pocket as the
pivotal point, as becomes snappy clothes
for roughneck ladies.
AS in the Dalton picture. the young
man gets aboard the girls ship Illegally
smuggling himself as a stowaway, how
ever. instead of being shanghaied
aboard In white flannel trousers, like
the natty Mr.. Valentino. But, like our
Rodolph, Robert Ellis Is set to work
scrubbing decks. and similarly wins the
fair lady by the charm of his fisticuffs-
always defeating men twice his size.
The two stories part company when
Ellis betrays the ship to the revenooers.
