'an . Dyke. Ate yon nrolil o "The Open Vlaccst" livery t,ehoolboy knows by now that the simple story humanly done Is worth two of the elaborately story falsely done. Hero Is an example of what sincerity of "fingering" and acting that rings true can do for a con ventional plot, so plain In Its essentials that it would be barren wero It not for tho con vincing spirit that the director hns breathed Into It. This tale of tho Royal Mounted and their activities on the Canadian border sug gests the success Bssanay had with Its old "Broncho Billy" films, In which the now obscured Gilbert M. Anderson used to strut. That is: It Is presented with no optical glamor, sets nnd lighting being machine made nt d unallurlng. But tho handling has done wonders with tho script Detail work Is fine, as witness the Illusion of blurred vision when tho hero, shot, mistakes the herolno for his assailant. A sSloon fight, primarily commonplace, has been lifted Into tho exciting class. And the wind-up of the arn, without any fade-out embrace, but a droll letter Instead, ntakes "Tho Open Places" good entertainment. Jack Gardner photographs well nnd plays In a. manly wny. Carl Stockdale does tho villain nicely. PIIINCIISS "The llnrker." SMIc, with Lew Field. Hlor by Charlea K. Harris. Name of dlti'dor not scri-ened. s the "Dip Top" your temporary hamct By removing the sob stuff nnd Inserting a few leaders written by the Koystone staff or Anita Loos, Sellg might turn "Tho Barker" Into a first-class farce. All the Ingredients aro there. Imagine dear, old Lew, hero of countless musical comedy absurdities, playing a professor of lan guages lu a foreign country; being Inducted Into an anarchistic society, which Is pinched by the police; sent to America as n ban ished subject, and leaving his rotter brother and the latter's vile wife to mal treat Lew's llttlo daughter. As If this weren't enough, Author Harris (apparently tho same man who wrote that tcary tune, "After the Ball." has turned Lew Into a circus person. The Sagacious Reporter sug gests that samples of the "language" Lew taught In that mysterious kingdom might well be Fcieencd. He also suggests that Lew revive his old eyepoklng, choking act, substituting Mr. Harris for Joe Weber. Production nnd lights In the feature nie very "Junky." The weird part Is thnt Mr. Fields acts lather well. Ho ought to get a new M-iIpt writer nnd director. Tho attention of jnany fans Is centered on tho light llUelv to ensue between tho Stanley forces und tho Stato Hoard of Cen sors. It seems that the board had forbid den the evhlbltloii ot ceitaln parts of "The Spy," a Fox subject, feulurlng ono of tho Farnums, which It had been planned to show at the Stanley. This llttlo brush be tween exhibitor and authority may mark the resumption of active hostilities, which ceased when Frank 11, Shattuck took the place ot Louis J. Brcltlnger as head ot the supervisors of State films. The outcome ot this forthcoming offensive on tho Market street front will be Interesting, Any one who numbers himself among tho really truly etcrnns of photoplaygolng would hardly lecognlze the old Family Theatie as It Is today. Gone are the funny statuary girls whose dim torches used to shine while uch things as "The Battle Hymn of the Bepubllc," "Knoch Arden," and "Justinian and Theodora" were being thrown on the Insecure sheet. In the days ot General Film glory, the Family showed first-runs of that service, and was the Mecca of all persons who liked pictures of the better sort. It was there that all the Griffith Blographs and Sennet's first fltabs at farce and the finest Fcllson stories were shown. Now the family resembles such a pretenti ous place ns the Arcadia. The decorations are simple, In capital taste, and there's a big organ, neatly clad maidens for ushers, a ulant floor, good seating arrangements and all the other requisites ot modern taste. .. George Loane Tucker, "the Griffith of Kngland." Is said to have Joined Coldwyn as director. Mr. Tucker's efforts, which have found so much favor In New York, havo yet to reach Philadelphia.
