"Wild Horse Mesa"

And they say the wild West
isn't wild any more. 1t is to
laugh. The West is not only wild
and woolly, it's thrifty, and capti-
waiting and romantic and chuck
full of bad men, horse thieves,
beautiful wimmin and what not.
Zane Grey, the old master in
the neat art of making the West
something to behold but not to
be in, has his love child, Wild
Horse Mesa" at the Columbia,
soaring the natives out of the
SNUG security brought on by the
white sheet parade Saturday.
Noah Berry, a confounding bad
man from the worst street in
town, aids and abets Zane in his
potent attempts to give every
one the creeps and heebie jeeoies.
Jack Holt and Billie Dove romp
around together to show up the
pleasanter side of the story. They
have a host of others helping
them make wild Horse Mesa
one OF the most entertaining
throbbers of the year.
The story has typical Zane
Grey trimmings, but the plot IS
as complex as a time table. Two
brothers in love with the same
gal form the nucleus, and n wild
stallion is the actual motif. The
brothers fight for the girl fight
for the horse, and at her within
turn the animal loose-and that
after the many weary hours they
have spent chasing the nag.

Anita Stewart. Bert Lytell and
Huntley Gordon have brought 70
the latest and best of Cosmopoli-
tan films the full measure Of
their many talents.
AS background, alive with
barbaric magnificence, we have
the ever-alluring islands of the
South Seas.
Here are the ingredients of a
great motion picture, together
with the story provided by a
master Of the pen. In the uncon-
fident hands Of inexperienced or.
rectors and performers. it is
quite likely that this abundance
of good material might have
turned out to be hasfl-beautifu

the shoals of mediocrity end
plot jumping. He clcaves cleanIy
through the story, emitting all
by-play except that which is need
/ ed to create atmosphere or has
q direct bearing upon the yarn
he spins.
The story. concisely, IS this:
Tamea, daughter of native is
land queen and a French sailing
master, leaves her picturesque
domain Of Riva for trip with
her father. At quarantine off San
Francisco, the father is forced
by tragic circumstance, to COM
init the beautiful girl to the
care of his young and handsome
friend, wealthy Frisco broker,
Dan Pritchard.
Pritchard wavers between the
attraction of Tamea and his white
love. Finally he casts the die for
the half-caste girl, and follows her
back to her ancestral isle. But
there the tropical languor and the
-pIentitude Of beauty come In
harsh conflict with his American
instincts And so to the climax
and the swift denouement
The details of the film are in
capable hands. Even the gowns
worn by Tamea In the city are so
designed as to accentuate, not too
obviously, her island origin, as con-
trasted with the conventional
physical sartorial beauty of her
rival in love.

MET OFFERS COLORFUL
HCHEN'S FILM

Mr.. Nelson Bell has turned

He wrote the script Of the ex.
ira feature at the MET this
week, a feature that describes in
detail how Nelson and Harry
CrandalPs Saturday Nighters
broadcast such big-time programs
from wRC. Everything is shown,
and the idea Of presenting pic
lures of might at radio
studio" works out spIendidly. All
the local artists, together with
assisting technicians are includ-
ed 10 this short extra-a sort of
movie debut" of owners of tai.
ents with "air reknown."
You'll like the stunt picture.
It is different and entertaining.
Not to say instructive.
Lewis Stone, polished and ca
pable actor, is leading off the
feature, 1.-THE Lady Who Lied"
surrounded by Virginia Valli and
Mia Naldi as the ladies of promi-
nence. The story is adapted
from a yarn by Robert Hichens,
who wrote, you'll recall. THE
Garden of Allah" 1.-THE Way of
Ambition bella Donna" and
THE Fruitful Vine" Kitchens
is one of the greatest novelists
of modern times and in 1.-The
Lady Who Lied" is back in the
atmosphere of the Sahara, a
land he knows from many years
of travel and research.
1t is a strong piece of writing
and a fine piece of fila dIa-
MATES. Stone does a very good
job OF the role allotted him,
though a peculiar one indeed.
You'll like him.
The scenes are varied and
many. And the Hichens motifs
are well wrought by Miss Valli
and the regal Nita Naldi. Miss
Naldi has a role that gives her
much more to do in 1.-The Lady
Who Lied" than she was called
upon for in 1.-The Marriage Whirl"
of last week.
There is plenty of color OF an
exotic sort in this Kitchens story.
1t moves in interesting foreign
social circles. Part of the action
is backgrounded by a Venetian
carnival, and the gaiety of Ital-
ian holidays. Those scenes laid
In the desert are particularly
