A Prize winner.

A Prize winner.
winifrod Kimball wrote story en-
titled Broken Chains" and entered it
in scenario contest conducted by a
Chicago newspaper. She won the first
prize--a matter of some $4,000, and is
now embarked on a profitable career
as a screen writer.
IL is not for us to quarrel with the
decision OF the judges in this contest
Doubtless they performed their duties
fairly and efficiently, and selected the
best manuscript submitted to them.
But we are perfectly free to express
the hope that we shall not have to see
any OF the losing stories in film form.
For Broken Chains" as presented at
the Capitol this week. rates about
eighteen cents on the dollar.
Perhaps this is not Miss kimballs
fault. Her original manuscript may
have been dramatic masterpiece.
and worth all of the 10000 she re-
ceived for it. II this is tho case. the
story has undergone some terrific mis-
handling during the course of its prog
ress through the Goldwyn studios.
1t is we'll acted, in spots, by Colleen
Moore and Ernest Terrence, although
Malcolm McGregor, the hero, is little
out OF his depth. 1t is also beauti-
fully photographed. But Allen Holu-
bars direction is awful. II is pain
fully crude. What is more, the film
has been edited in such haphazard
fashion that most Of the scenes are
either too long or too short and are
unrelated to each other. The plot
slSips about recklessly. so that there
is no why or wherefore to any situa-
'tion or episode.
This Is inexcusable carelessness
Any photoplay. however bad, should
be put together with some regard for
the mechanics Of editing.
Broken Chains" also suffers by
comparison with two Of the best pic
lures that this year has brought
forth. When Miss Kimball wrote the
story she had probably not seen
"Tol'able David and "Grandma's
Boy" so that one cannot accuse her
of plagiarism. But the main idea is
so much the same that the spectator
can't help comparing Broken Chains"
with it's two wprthier predecessors.
It doesn't give either of them any
sort Of an argument.
We have spoken of the photography
and it must be added that many of
the scenes are decidedly soothing to
the optic nerve. which has been
bruised by the story itself. The locale
is. the timber country-it is one of
those tales of mollyeoddie from the
city who ffnds his manhood in. Gods
great outdoors-and there are some
gorgeous pictures of wooded valleys

R1vOLI-Wallace Reid In THIRTY
DAYS" adapted by Walter Woods from
the play by A. u. Thomas and Clayton
Hamilton directed by James Cruze.
Produced by Paramount.
The New York herald., 1922-12-11
A Dull StiIctto.

There is a certain amount Of good
farce material in the play Thirty
Days." and James Cruze and Walter
Woods have developed it to the utter
most. But it Is not nearly enough to
cover five or six reels.
AS result. the picture fades out
as il is rounding into the stretch and
limps weakly past the judges stand.
This is disappointing, as the audiences
at the Rivoli are keyed up by the
earlier incidents I'm Thirty Days" to
expect an unusually hearty laugh.
They never quite get it.
Wallace Reid appears as a flirtatious
young man who is given one month by
his fiancee to demonstrate his impervi-
BUSINESS to the wiles of all other women.
Unwittingly. he becomes involved with
an italian lady, the wife of a vengeful
desperado who is never really happy
except when he is inserting his still
letto between a rivals ribs. He makes
several menacing passes at Mr. Reid,
but never, of course, quite succeeds in
burynR the murderous blade.
Mes-rs. Cruze and Woods, who were
responsible for zone Glorious Day"
and 1.-THE Dictator" have equipped
Thirty Days" with many situations
which are highly amusing and re-
freshngly original They have de-
vised some excellent nonsense, and
have played it for all that It is worth.
But the stuff simply isn't there, and
the basic weakness becomes evident as
the picture goes on.
AS at the Capitol, the rest OF the
Rivoli bill is entertaining and intelli-
gent.
The principal attraction at the
Strand is "The Beautiful and Damned"
an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's
novel with Kenneth Harlan and Marie
Provost in the stellar roles. 1t is a
Warner Brothers production. Elsie
Ferguson, in "Outcast," and Buster
Keaton, in The Blacksmith have
hoped from tin Rivoli to the Rialto.
and "As Man Lives" is on view at
the Cameo.
The bills at other Broadway picture
theaters remain the same.

NOTED WRITER
 SAYS DRY LAW
 BIG ADVANCE

NEW YORK, Aug, 5.-Fannie Hurst novelist, says America has set back the world prohibition movement 50 years.
 We are the horrible example" she says. Europe is laughing at America reckoning we have bungled it so much, that liquor is safe with them for a long time"
 Miss Hurst, just back from Euro pean tour, thinks most anti-prohibi- tionists would be converted if they took the trip.
 We have lost our perspective here" she says. Everybody is bowling against the dry amendment. We dont see its benefits until we go aborad and compare conditions.
 Prohibition is one of the greatest sociological reforms the world has known. My friends think I am crazy to talk like this, but I believe it."
 More Tlpplinn in Europe
 The famous novelist said she found people in France, England and Ger many were drinking mofe liquor than before the war.
 Frenchmen are stillwine drinkers, but they're putting away more spirits than they ever did" she said. Tn Germany the beer is back to normal. Germany is dusting herself off faster than any other country.
 The ill effects of liquor can be seen plainly in the East End of Lon- don. The place looks horrible beside our Bowery. For the Bowery looks shaved and spruced up''
 Miss Hurst say American vets, do more talking than actual drinking when they go abroad.
 Talk Booze, Drink Water
 Lots of them make up for lost time in drinking way" she said But noticed most American men talked about cocktails and drank water. I think lots of our talented drinkers have lost their grip. They hate to admit it, but they have"

 Yes. absolutely-in the same apart ment!
 Miss Hurst has given up her own "bachelor\ quarters, in spite of the old arrangement of husband and wife only taking breakfast together
 Why, they even went abroad to- gether.

It is a Bayard Veil Ter production,
 A sons sacrifice for his father who has becme involved in an affair which threatens his reputation is the theme of this absorbing story The son ac- cepts responsibility for his fathers wrong-doing and goes into exile, giv- ing up the girl to whom he is en- gagged and everything else which makes life attractive to this rich society man. During his punishment he becomes involved in numerous diff faculties with the. mountain people in the vicinity, and the resulting conse- quences make this picture one of con- tinual suspense, full of dramatic tbdills and intrest from first reel to last.
