starring Lila Lee and Cornelius Keefe
A fairly good program picture. The story is not extraordinary, but fairly good handling has made it into a mildly appealing entertainment. It is the story of a wealthy girl who falls in love with a poor clerk (hero) and who eventually convinces her father that he will make a better husband than any of the wealthy young idlers, thus gaining his permission to marry him. The plot does not lack complications; before the young hero could gain the consent of the herioine's father for their marriage, the author made him go through some experiences, the outcome being that the young man had shown good character. For instance, he, while visiting the heroine at her country home, discovers her young brother opening the wall safe and taking some valuables out if it; he makes the young man put them back. The villain, a young waster, who wanted the heroine as a wife because of her money, overhears everything and, when it is found that some money was missing from the safe, leads the father to believe that it was the hero that had robbed the safe. The hero allow himself to be thought of as guilty rather than give the heroine's brother away. In the end, however, the hero's innocence is proved, and the heroines's father calls on the hero and begs his forgiveness, asking him to go to his daughter, who loved him. The plot has been founded on a story by Arthur Hoerl; it has been directed by Burton King, from a screen play by the author himself. ادامه مطلب

Produced by Chesterfield Pictures Scenes from the adorable cheat
Marian Dorsey goes to work in the shipping department of her father's enamelware business when Dad expresses frustration at his lazy son's disinterest in continuing the family's pots and pans business. Without Dad's knowledge and under an assumed last name, Marian works auditing the books and soon falls in love with the young, handsome and ambitious chief shipping clerk, George Mason. A weekend party is being planned at the Dorsey home, and when a friend finds Marian at her place of work, she invites George to attend. To continue her ruse of being just a working girl and not the daughter of the wealthy Cyrus Dorsey, Marian has her friend pose as Dorsey's daughter, which allows Marian and George to attend as guests. The weekend ends up being one of mystery and misunderstandings when Carver, a friend of Marian's brother, decides to plant stolen money on George and discredit him in the eyes of Marian and her father. Discovered by Jesse Lasky, Lila Lee made her screen debut in 1918 for Paramount Pictures. Lasky had planned to make her another Mary Pickford; however, after eight films and a loss of over million, he allowed her to be used by whatever director wanted her. (1). Her career was a scattering of first-class pictures for major studios and poverty row studio employment throughout the silent era. After Lasky gave up on her, she was cast at Tweeney, the scullery maid who is in love with Thomas Meighan's Crichton in Cecil B. DeMille's "Male and Female" (1919). She played opposite Rudolph Valentino in "Blood and Sand" (1922) and several other Paramount pictures throughout the twenties while also working for studios such as Regal, PDC, Chadwick and Chesterfield. Because she was an accomplished actress with a good voice, she moved to talkies easily and starred in eight pictures in 1929 alone. However, the stress of Hollywood took its toll on her, and she had a nervous breakdown. Married to actor/director James ******kwood (22 years her senior) since 1923, he divorced her on grounds of desertion while she was recovering in an Arizona sanitarium. Although ******kwood got custody of their son, young ******kwood, Jr., adored his mother and continued to spend as much time with her as possible up until her death in 1973. She made almost 30 pictures in the next seven years. Lee married again in 1934, a union that lasted only six months. Another marriage in the 1940's did not last long either.
Like most of the silent stars' film libraries, most of Lila Lee's output is no longer around. However, "The Adorable Cheat" is a beautiful example of the fine work of this lovely, talented actress - and, thankfully, available from Grapevine Video on DVD for the home market. It's easy to see from Lee's performance in this film why Lasky felt he could bring the same level of adoration and popularity that Pickford enjoyed to Lee. Lee's performances were never intended to mimic Pickford's. Lee is certainly more restrained in her acting, and, of course, she did not attempt the child roles as Pickford so adeptly portrayed. Lee isn't given to slapstick situations, either, such as Pickford's pots and pans routine in the department store in "My Best Girl" made the same year. Yet, the charm is there, the loveliness, the expressiveness and the talent. There is one scene that may bring to mind the scene in Pickford's "My Best Girl" where she and Buddy Rogers are having lunch in the large shipping crate. Although not as ingenious a location nor the implication of the intimacy, Lee and her handsome co-star, Cornelius Keefe, share a lunch sitting side by side on a table in the shipping office - he eating an apple, and she eating chips from a bag. She turns to stare at him while he chomps away at the apple. When he realizes she's watching him, they both look at each other and have a good laugh. She then takes a chip from the bag and offers it to him. He declines. She insists pushing the chip closer and closer to his mouth until he finally takes it. He then pulls a sandwich from a bag, offers it to her, which, she, of course, declines. He pushes it closer and closer to her until she finally takes a bite. The two laugh over each of these instances, and the scenes work well to show us how much the two are enjoying being together at work and how their relationship is blossoming. Perfect casting
Gladden James, as Howard Carver, provides a good contrast to Keefe. Not the looks of a leading man, but perfect for the "cad" part he plays in "The Adorable Cheat." He is at his nastiest and Keefe at his most sympathetic when Carver invites George's parents to the weekend party without George's knowledge. Carter's intent is to embarrass George with his humble parents who are clueless that they are being used. All of the young people there find this most amusing with several of the young girls flirting with George's father, in his own daffy way, thoroughly enjoying the attention of the young girls. Rather than respond angrily or try to avoid any connection with these two very plain people, George, instead, welcomes and embraces them. However, realizing Carver's intent, he suggests they all go home - a classy and subtle way to handle this awkward predicament. It's a heart-rending sequence in the movie that underscores our dislike for Carver and emphasizes his unscrupulous character while, at the same time, increasing our admiration for how well George responded to and handled the situation. Both Keefe and James are to be commended for fine performances. As the Variety reviewer noted, "Keefe . . . makes a good impression," and "Gladden James . . . does a cad with his accustomed finesse and nastiness." (2) Although he doesn't occupy a lot of screen time, the blustery Burr McIntosh is a welcome, familiar face as Marian's father. McIntosh will be best remembered as Squire Bartlett in D.W. Griffith's classic "Way Down East" (1920) - cruelly sending Lillian Gish's character out into a blizzard after learning she has had a baby out of wedlock. It's a rarity to see his character smile - but his daughter, we are told, is the only one who can bring about this change in demeanor, and the interplay between the father and daughter is heart-warming. Reginald Sheffield, as Marian's brother, Will, provides an acceptable characterization - admittedly with little depth provided for this part. He's the rebellious youth who wants no part of the boring pots and pans business - "there's no romance in that." He also gamble with his friends, losing money he doesn't have - so that's why he ends up robbing his father's safe. The spoiled, rich kid who "learns his lesson" is rather cliche; however, that's the part that has been given to Sheffield. Sheffield was active in films and TV right up until his death in 1957, with over 130 films/TV shows to his credit. His greatest claim to fame, however, is being the father of Johnny Sheffield who was "Boy" in the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movies and later Bomba, the Jungle Boy in the 1940's. A web of robbery, deceit and misunderstandings The story - particularly for a film from a low-budget studio - is excellent. As Variety noted, "The first point of favor of 'The Adorable Cheat' is the story, well-knit and plausible." (3) Of course, one wouldn't expect this film to make anyone's top 100 list, but, nonetheless, it's good entertainment, a credit to the pen of Arthur Hoerl, who, though virtually unknown today, wrote for 150 films between the silent era and his death in1968. (4) Well made - but on a shoestring budget But back to our original praise for this film - the appearance of Lila Lee as the star. Variety said, "Lila Lee is starred, and while the 'Cuddles' kid has passed from public focus of late, she looks extremely attractive here and will be liked." (6) ("Cuddles" was the name vaudeville producer Gus Edwards gave Lila Lee when she was performing on the stage prior to her entry into the movies.) Her presence, charm, perkiness, coyness, expressive yet restrained performance, and dark beauty are a delight to watch. She and Keefe make a perfect pair, playing well off each other. The inclusion of James as the villain, the pairing of the two lovers from two different social classes (nothing original about this, but presented well here), and the very neatly written climax with misunderstandings, stolen money, deceit and stubborn pride - all provide for a great 54 minutes of entertainment. By the way, one may assume from the length that this film may have missing scenes, but the American Film Institute Catalog lists the length as 5,000-5,400 feet - right on target for the time on Grapevine's DVD. By the way, this DVD also has another well-done original organ score by David Knudtson - adding much to the enjoyment of the film. Kudos to Grapevine. ادامه مطلب

starring Charlie Chaplin and Edna Purviance The season's great laugh, not quite so regular as the full moon, is amongst us again, after an eclipse since June. Mr. Chaplin, in presenting "The Adventurer" as his Mutual swan song maintains the quality of past risible events, though shading in a trifle more on the deft stuff to the diminishment of the broad. He kept within the Hooverish mandates, as well, eliminating pies and other edibles, confining himself to the extraction of all the fun he could from the human foot, kickwise expressed, with a little soda water siphoned in for lubrication. As a convict endeavoring to escape, he spend most of his time in a dress suit, admiring the lovely Purviance, and dodging distasteful policemen. He dodges successfully, as the end escaping into the no-one-knows-where, but judging by his past experiences he is bound for more success. It's the only end anyway, for it would be most unpsychologic to leave Chaplin behind prison bars. Even he could extract no smiles from that as a permanency. But before his final dodge, he does grab off a bout a million. There are many clever stunts in the "The Adventurer" and a few very new ones, furnishing material for much smiling , if not for sideshaking laughter. Mr. Chaplin's Mutual career has been a satisfying one. He has given the company a row of excellent comedies of his own peculiar vintage, which must needs be valuable for several years. Considering that he did as well by Essanay, it is a safe gamble that his next affiliation will be similarly productive of excellence. He is an artist as well as a player of motley. Also he is a good business man. ادامه مطلب

starring Wallace Reid, Gloria Swanson, Wanda Hawley, Theodore Roberts, Agnes Ayres, Monte Blue and Bebe Daniels Nothing left of Schnitzler but the title. The subtle craftsmanship, the sentimental melancholy and the humorous cynicism have given place to crudity and even clumsy vulgarity. We look upon "The Affairs of Anatol" as the worst massacre since Custer's forces were wiped out by the redskins. The silken DeMille is certainly running riot. THE AFFAIRS OF ANATOL Cecil Be DeMille's long and widely heralded screen version of "The Affairs of Anatol" came to town in duplicate yesterday, one print going into the Rivoli and the other into the Rialto for at least a week at each theatre. Here is Mr. DeMille at his best. Whether you will like it is another matter. If you like a glorified movie that you can take as a movie and are not asked to take as a genuinely human photoplay, you will probably be among the large number who will find enjoyment in Anatol and his innocent escapades. Mr. DeMille, it appears, must be ornate and artificial, theatrical at all times, and his style is not suited, therefore, to stories of real people and serious import. For this reason, the matrimonial homilies, which he delivered for viewing and which simply would not let themselves be taken lightly, were false and tiresome -- except to those who like moralizing guaranteed to produce no moral effect upon them. But the case of the present offering is different. Here is an extravagant story that never by any chance could be taken seriously, ornamented by elaborate and expensive sets, and such an assemblage of screen favorites as has never before been brought together in one picture for the worship of idolatrous fans. And, incidentally, any number of the screen's best pantomimists are among them. So it's a magnificant puppet show, legitimately and logically excessive in every way. For once Mr. DeMille's theatricalities are in harmony with his subject. He is free, for example, to indulge his love of trick furniture and bizarre غير مجاز مي باشدtumes to his heart's content without giving offense. They're all part of the show. Doubtless there will be those who will say that the picture could have been something more than just a show. They will point out that it really becomes most enjoyable when it runs most freely in the spirit of banter and satire and they will insist that, if it had been treated throughout with that light and subtle incisiveness that makes the whole world grin at itself, it would have been a work of exceptional value, but that, with its somewhat labored movement and general burden of Hollywood's celluloid morality, it lacks the sparkle of a cynical levity, which, obviously, it might have had. True, true, but it is as it is, and, despite what it might have been, it may so easily be taken as a movie show deluxe that one is inclined to accept it as that and not find fault. And it has its really worthwhile moments, too, remember. Wallace Reid, as Anatol, farces some of his scenes delightfully,. Theodore Roberts makes the old rounder he impersonates a joy, and Agnes Ayres almost succeeds in creating a character. Gloria Swanson is decorative, Wanda Hawley is fascinating, and Bebe Daniels does one of the best mock-vampire acts. It's a pity hat these three ever became stars. They are so good in parts which do not make it necessary for them to assume the play-it-as-I attitude. Also in the cast, and pleasantly present, are Elliott Dexter, Raymond Hatton, Monte Blue, Charles Ogle and a number of others well known on the screen,. Theodore غير مجاز مي باشدloff, one of the best pantomimist of them all, has only a bit. It is done in finished style. There ought to be more of it. The producton, it may be said even by one who did not see the Schnitzler-Barker original, is only a distant and thoroughly acclimated cousin of the continental work that flourished on the stage some seasons ago. In the first place, according to all reports, Schnitzler's play was not something the censors would have approved of. It doesn't seem likely that they will find much fault with the picture, however. On the screen Anatol is an exceedingly nice young man whose affairs are all entirely innocent. If the girls who, one after another, arouse his purely philanthropic interest are not so innocent, they are still not so very, very bad, and promise to be good before they are dismissed from the story. The picture, in fact, bears a closer resemblance to "My Lady Friends," which many no doubt will remember than to the freely continental farce "Anatol" is reported to have been. And, it should be added, although it uses the original name, it does not claim to be a faithful translation. "Suggested by" is the term used on the program, and the authorship of the screen version is ascribed to Jeanie Macpherson. Also at the Rivoli and Rialto, and adding merriment to their programs, is the latest Sarg-Dawley Shadowgraph, "Fireman Save My Child." ادامه مطلب

starring Douglas Fairbanks and Alma Reubens The fact that Douglas Fairbanks is the star of this is sufficient proof that it's good. As the extremely susceptible, quick-tempered son of the Stars and Stripes in Mexico, "Electricity Doug" does the best work of his picture career. It is mad, merry scramble of lovely senoritas, tempest-in-tea-pot revolutions, kidnapped Presidentes, and a strong, husky son of the U.S.A. to wave the Stars and Stripes as the curtain goes down on the last and happy finale. Alma Reubens is a lovely and extremely capable "opposite" to Mr. Fairbanks. ادامه مطلب

Starring Pauline Garon and Harrison Ford "The Average Woman" is just an average society drama; the principal players are satisfactory, and there are some comic situations introduced here and there. But the material is insufficient for the footage allotted to it, which means inevitably that the interest is alternately held and lost: -- A young newspaperman (hero) is asked to write an article on "The Average Woman." In search of material, he goes to the Public Library, where he encounters the flapperish young daughter (heroine) of a well-known judge. With certain preconceived notions about his subject, he decides to use this girl as his lierary model. When she leaves the library, he follows her. Thus the business-begun pursuit of the heroine terminates in a romance between the two. Acceptable in houses which change bill frequently. ادامه مطلب
