AT MOTION PICTURES
THE BLACK PIRATE.

Yo-ho-ho, what a bunch Of athletic
pirates sit on a dead mans chest In
this pictured Never did a more VII
famous crew board the peaceful mer-
chairman than that headed by Doug
las Fairbanks, the Black Pirate. Never
was the crew such carbon copies OF
their leader as this one. They raid
ships, swear blue streaks, fight, gam
BILE and carouse in fashion fitting the
most blood-thirsty novel Of the buc-
cancers. Douglas Fairbanks does all
the fiashy unbelievable things that lit
tie boys dream of-and that bucca-
neers no doubt wished that they could
have done. And his crew Of Black
Pirates does them like their leader.
It is a pirate picture all right, but IN
Fairbanks style.
Here's the romantic Spanish Maine
of the boys adventure stories-treas-
ure chests In secret hiding, raiding
ships, climbing the rigging, duels, VIII
lains, heroes, lovely neutrality-suspicious..
what bunch Of hokum!
The spirit of the picture Showing
at the Roosevelt) Is gay ONE No
pretense at honesty, Of course. 1t
claims none. 1t asks you to believe
the things you believed when you were
a kid. And Douglas Fairbanks adds
a touch or two to romance with spark
ling athletic feats that VII thrill
small boy down to his shoe tops He
makes a handsome, swash-buckling
hero. He moves the picture along in
Jolly, If unreal, fashion. The story
itself is really punk Too cheap. IN
fact, for Fairbanks picture We ex-
pect more from this fellow.
So there you are! The whole thing
is done in natural colors and heightens
the effect Of romantic adventure.
There are scenes of pirates swarming
on a ship from deck TO rigging that
are quite splendid. There are many
features that put 1.-THE Black Pirate"
somewhat above the average. The
story itself, however, gets the picture
nowhere. Maybe you'll like It You
may, II you don't go expecting very
much.

There are reasons Sophie Tucker
is the main one. This young lady who
was a star when State street was q
prairie, is still good enough to make
youngsters envious. Here's a rough
sort of humor-a low-down. off-color
1un-making. 1t is redolent Of the old
burlesque shows and (maybe mine is
q perverted preference!) it is worth
having. And brother, this lady can
put over jazz song as nobody else
can.
Ted Lewis, the ancient Jazz king Is
also in it. Sos his old orchestra. The
orchestra is better. But the crowd
seemed to like his ancient hokum
and maybe my reactions are due to

childhood. He doesn't seem to have
