The New Pictures

Sun-Up. You may remember this Southern play by Lula Vollmer, which told so sternly and so well certain truths about the mountain people. In the picture it still has its tale to tell, plus a love story to thin it out to seven reels. The story is one of war; how feud war faded before the greater war which took the mountaineers to Germany, which they regarded as just beyond Asheville. The dominant figure is the old mountain mother who, between puffs at her corncob pipe, attains in her ignorance to some fundamental facts in life. Lucille La Verne, as in the play, makes this mother most of the entertainment.

Winds of Chance. The gusts of

this endeavor gathered formerly on that section of the melodramatic horizon managed by Rex Beach. He wrote of the Klondike and dance-hall nights; of the pure girl and the older blonde who loved the same man; of murmuring wastes of pine and snow. His men are all pure in their later incarnation; none of the boys would think of swearing at Rouletta or feeding her whisky.

The Lucky Horseshoe. Tom Mix's first picture since his European vacation has suffered little from Continental exposure. Mr. Mix is still the manliest of the cowboys; still the castle which boys build in dreams. As an added turret he has Ann Pennington, erstwhile spriest dancer of many a Ziegfeld Follies.

Where Was I? Reginald Denny is

a tall, blond young man who looks very much as if he posed for those selling-talk advertisements: "Are you a success?" A certain energy of photographic personality has made him a star. It is apparently the plan of his employers to make him a humorous asset to their fortunes. In I'll Show You the Town he was funny. In Where Was I? he is bent on disproving that he married a certain lady in Washington, Dec. 9, 1923. He--or rather it--is not so funny.
