Heritage of the Desert. In the telling of Western stories Zane Gray and the cinema are, in their respective mediums, difficult to defeat. Therefore when they get together the resulting entertainment must be big medicine. Ably assisted by Ernest Torrence, Bebe Daniels, Noah Beery, the cinema chemists have herein compounded an exceptionally vigorous specific...
...film factories against divorce were chronicled in this column last week in an estimation of Reno. The present production pushes vigorously the happy home campaign. It represents a most egregious waste of effort. The film is probably the dullest, most absurdly wearisome production that has been reviewed herein for weeks...
Madre. A doleful tale of the insufficiency of marriage is herein unfolded. The author is a Spaniard, Rafael Marti Orbera.

His brother, her husband, finally slips a knife into Fidel's left ventricle. The acting is inadequate despite...

His curiously exotic imagination has taken a group of characters to a strange island rich in jewel mines. Dying, the owners left a will which would return the treasures to the natives unless their son and daughter married. Fortuitously involved are a beautiful foreign Princess and one Hollingsworth Chase, American adventurer. The walking delegate of the Natives' Union, local No. 1, argues that the matter may best be settled by massacring the whole...
