...Girl of the Golden West. This picture, by Puccini's opera, out of David Belasco's play, reveals movies prepared in the Rockies, seasoned with Mexican spurs and served with a garnishing of pistol shots. To make the result completely satisfactory, the cook (Director Edwin Carew) followed Belasco's original recipe carefully. Accordingly his play combines plausibility with excitement. For such a movie may the strange gods of Hollywood be praised...
...Yale eight, trained by Ed Leader, from the Pacific Coast, defeated Cornell and Princeton.

...pseudo-historical play, "Napoleon's Barber" by Arthur Caesar, of a familiar pattern. The third play, "Goat Alley" by Ernest Howard Culbertson, is saved from being sheer melodrama by its characterization. Floyd Dell's scintillating little comedy "Sweet and Twenty" and "Tickless Time" by Susan Glaspell and George Cram Cook, though the latter is more or less trick writing, are highly amusing and the first notable plays of the group...
