:" Adorable" Is a Typical
Movie of Gaynor Variety
However. the Star Has New Leading Man, the
Music Is Good and the Old-Tme Romance
Remains Very Sweet and Comfortable.
By E. de S. Melcher.

the family-you will find this new love
yarn a grandly constructed affair.
While its theme Is 80 light as to be
practically no theme at all, and its dia-
logue snuffed under pleasantly assorted
music, its main asset is the way in
which they fool you in everything, even
so far as the king who turns out to
be knee-high to a grasshopper. You
will be pleased to M. Carat prog
ress from a lieutenant to a general
through the virtue of making innumer-
able mistakes, and the prime minister
giving himself medal for having been
right about something.
Some Of the burlesque is amusing. but
it isn't amusing enough. They have
been delightful in a few matters, but
not in all matters. And once you have
seen Miss Gaynor dance around before
a mirror. that ought to be enough, and
once you have seen "love" sneak around
the corner, that ought to be enough
But enough isn't enough in this-some-
thing has been left out.
Nevertheless, this Is mild little
imitation of Congress Dances" and
one which folks with not an unkind
thought in the world will be very fond
of. 1t is all sugar and cake, and Is
urgently recommended to all love-sick
maidenS under Is or over SO.
The cast resolves itself into two-or
three if you take Mr.. Aubrey Smiths
prime minister monkey-shines into it.
Miss Gaynor and Mr.. Carat are strictly
speaking the cast. They meet in the
first scene. embrace through the length
and breadth Of it, and when they're not
embracing they're smiling at each
other and singing songs.
These songs, incidentally, are very,
very good You will hear them played
in every beer garden throughout the
Summer And Miss Gaynor and Mr..
Carat are very good. You know that
the charm of Miss Gaynor lies in her
smile. Mr. Carat, a newcomer from
France, also has 9 pleasant grin. Look
ing sometimes like Ricardo CorteZ and
acting occasionally like M. Chevalier.
he is an intelligent and pleasant relief
from Mr.. Farrell, whom we are bound
to confess We never cared for very
much.
These two. plus the music, minus a
plot, make up a light and occasionally
bright film. 1t just misses being some
thing very fine.
But then ever since ZOO in Buda-
pest" most films have seemed not quite
so good as they probably are ANYWAY
