meaningless new name of the pic

made of the pro .uction. which is
a triumph both Miss Philbin and

Fools Highway" will disappoint
those persons who thought that Miss
Philbin's success in "Merry-Go-
Round" was merely an accident. In
her new picture she indicates those
who have maintained that she is
really very gifted young actress.
Her work is still spotty. There are
great lengths OF footage in which
she Is merely nicely adequate and
then will come some scene in which
she is really superb for a minute or
two.
The success Of the production is
the more remarkable because the
costuming and backgrounds ar.
drab and only the acting. direction
and beautiful lighting and photog-
raphy tighten what otherwise would
be a somber and pathetic love story.
