banks new picture. "The Iron
Mask" current at the Columbia
Theater. can best be described by
the word "spotty."
1t starts off in fair style. The
main body of the film is nothing
less than superbly done. And
then 1t ends in manner that can
only please that part Of the audi
ence rating mentally as troglo-
dytes.
In any romantic, swashbuckling
story such as this. we take no
exception, naturally, to the re-
cording OF almost superhuman
featss of strength, courage and
high emprise.
The main body of this picture
moves in a rapid and gripping
manner. The whole thing runs
rich with pageantry and fires the
imagination.
1t is, taken as whole, an enter
tanning production and one which
Is almost sure to be enjoyable to
the movie fan. This enjoyment
undoubtedly would have been
heightened IL Mr.. Alan Dwan, the
director, had displayed the same
artistic judgment in the beginning
and end of the picture that he
gave the rest of it.
Mr., Fairbanks speaks a pro-
logue which is no asset to the
production and in the earlier Sc
quences the four guardsmen,
around whom the action centers,
act more like a quartet of the
lesser intelligent college fresh
men off on tear than anything
else. So much for the beginning.
Now for the ending-Mr. Dwan.
it must in fairness be said, builds
up climax that is fairly on t
way to being tremendous, and
then at the last spoils the whole
thing. D'Artagnan, stabbed in
the back, reels out of the palace
and Is staggering across the royal
lawn.
The other three guardsmen have
been slain as the climax ap-
preached.
Now, D DArtagnan, IL the director
had kept his artistic head, would
have died decently and that would
have been an unhappy. but thor
oughly logical and artistic ending.
But not so. As D'Artagnan falls
to tie ground. breathing his last,
