in this movie, but the Slapstick
present is modernized burleSque with
the jazz tempo 1t is really bur-
leSque upon home life through all
the ages, especially when beautiful
blonde wife attempts to run the
household.
This movie isn't history, it is just
a jazzed up idea of what might
have happened in Sparta and Troy
years ago before we had the radio
and the Shubert chorus.
At times you will and some of
the smartest fun revealed upon the
screen that we have had for
months. From a scenic and light
ing standpoint, "Helen" is marvel.
Some of the scenes are real art,
beautiful everyone of them.
You probably, just as I did, will
find this brand of fun so new to the
screen that it will take little time
to get into it. But 1 am sure that
you will have grand and glorious
mental time seeing Helen of Troy"
Much has been said in advance
about the beauty of Maria Corda,
one Of the widest blonde affairs I
have seen on the screen. She knows
how to use her eyes, wear her hair
and put satire into her comedy
scenes.
You will probably want to see
more of Maria and you see a plenty
in this movie. Her Helen is just
beauty, who is very wise. She knows
that she has the look that makes
men go daffy. That is her speciality.
So when she elopes with her
jewels and her best doll rags and
her maid with Paris, the ancient
edition of the Prince of Wales may
be, Helen goes over to Troy aid has
q grand time of it,
The generals Of the navy,
marines and the army tell their
boss, the King Menelaos, that here
is a good chance to fight Troy.

the youngest son of the MacDon-
aids and her cousin, Annie, is much
taken with the oldest son, Ian Mac
Donald. She risks her life by warn
ing him of impending danger that
threatens from the Campbell camp
AS I remember the poem, the film
has stayed carefully within the
limits of this more or less historical
ballad. One of the most vivid parts
of the poem is the massacre of
Glencoe, and it is so in the picture.
1t has the greatest dramatic appeal
and SurpaSses in splendor and &C
ton any other portion Of the film.
AS I said before Miss Gish has
made her character more true to life
than any she has protrayed for some
time. Norman Kerry is Ian Mac
Donald, Of the wild clan that lives
in the mountains. They are more
barbarouS and at the same time
more splendid specimens Of man
hood than any of the others.
Kerry's work is beautiful. He has
made Ian the son OF real hardened
chieftain of one of the most unrully
clans in all Scotland.
Annie Laurie" is a beautiful his
tcrical piece of work, and we'll done.
1t has given at least two characters
a splendid chance. 1t has given
the poem a realism that heretofore,
in my estimation. was lacking for
a full understanding of the ballad.
Comidies and newsreels complete
the program.

of his former sweetheart, he makes
himself more or less Of a sap, if the
term may be employed. Human ma
ture in this respect does not seem
to change so much.
There are the gossips of the
neighborhood, the Willoughy sisters,
who seem more excited over the
coming of the doctor than does
Phoebe. This is indeed a rare touch
and gives the picture, in a subtle
manner, a good deal of comedy.
Susan Throssel is played by Helen
Jerome Eddy and has the older sis

some excellent work, hurrying here
and there doing nothing, but all
breathless from doing it.

I was much amused to see that
the styles in capturing men were,
with the women, no less different
in the days of Napoleon than they
are today. In fact, judging from
the mode Of attack I would say
that women in those days had more
finesse than is now the vogue.
