New Pictures

Mlle. Modiste. Corinne Griffith, in ten times as many expensive clothes as most women wear in a lifetime, is probably sufficient excuse for a picture. The rest of this one is mostly unworthy, with the welcome exception of some of the subtitles. The story is about an American in Paris who set up a dress shop to display a specially inviting model.

Old Loves and New. E. M. Hull, who wrote The Sheik is responsible for the narrative genesis of this gaudy chapter. It is about English people in the sand countries and ends up with an elephant stepping on the wicked Lord's head. Lewis Stone and Katherine MacDonald are the protagonists.

Other Women's Husbands. Marriage-problem films are almost unquestionably the worst. They are cheap, obvious, false. This one is the same old story about the man who became interested in another woman when his wife went to the country.

The Runaway. A young woman named Clara Bow has been heavily involved in a dreary southern mountain story with the usual wholesome, fulsome finish. She starts out as a painted lady of Broadway and ends in the uplands of Kentucky happily ginghamed.
