Confining q major portion OF

to such oldsters as Descartes and
Wycherly-to mention the ex-
tremas-ands therefore unable to
do more than skim through
about one-thirty-second Of \ the
great mass of tripe being turned
out these days, this reviewer is
not in a position to say whether
or not Warner Brothers have
butchered or uplifted Robert
Keable's novel, "Recompense,"
now showing within the cool
depths of the Rialto. I have. it
upon good authority ! that this
'Recompense" was a sequel to
''Simon Called Peter"
am surprised that Warner
Brothers did not change the
name of the novel when they
moveized it. There's really no
good reason for doing so except
that all, or mostly all best sellers
are metamorphosed from PA
tricia's Dandelions" or Happy
Hours into ''The Sinners Re-
ward" or Blazing Bunions" af-
ter the cinema rights have been
purchased for three or four mil
lion dollars.
To get back to "Recompense
I liked 1t in this way, that the
war scenes are apparently au-
thentic. There is enough mud
and slime and filth to give an
impression of actually. There
is no attempt to make war any
thing but what it really IL, a
vile and loathsome object; the
putrefaction of the worst Of all
human emotions. There is a
minimum of flag-waving, but
Mischa Guterson must needs
swing into his rabble.rousing
ditties. I suppose it just has to
be done!
Marie Provost and Monte Blue
play the part of nurse and chap

joined, he minus the cloth. To
say that either Of these players
do better than fair would be
stretching the truth; they are ade-
quate and the story and Warner
Brothers intelligent additions sup.
ply the rest. George Seigman,
that accomplished renegade, al
though he has but a small part
easily turns in the best perform
ance. -
Back in the old Biograph Days,
along with Herr Phillips, the emil
nent professor Of dramaturgy,
Marie Provost was bathing girl.
Marie's a nice sweet girl. but they
surely spoiled one gorgeous eye
full OF figger when they decided to
put clothes on her and make the
damsel a third rate actress. Oh,
those movie folks, won't they
ever learn?
