-' ,THE EVENING WORLD; TUESDAY, DEOEMB! 26, 192! ft -1 E Reel Reviews By DON ALLEN 1 Tho spirit of Chrlstmastlde Uangu over many of tho Droadwoy clneman thto week, whllo tins Spirit of '74 per meates others. Seemingly anxious to outdo all pre vious Xmas efforts, directors and managers of tho bis Broadway screen houses have gathered In no end of novelties. Tho new Alms for the veek are: Harold Lloyd In "Dr. Jack." at tho Strand: Will Itoircrs In "Tho Head lean Horseman," at tho Capitol; Booth Tarkington'n "Tho Flirt," at the Rlalto; and Thonxas Melglian In "Back Homo and Broke," at the IUvoll. Among: tho old favorites still hold ing their screens arc: Douplaa Fair banks In "Robin Hood." at tho L,yric; "Tho Town That Forgot Ood." at the Astor; and. Marion Davlcs In "When Knighthood Was In Flower," at the Criterion. William Fox revived his "Over tho H1U" for a two week's run at the 44th Street, and to-morrow night New Yorkers will have their first clmnco to sco a movlo through tho nowiy- patented Teleview ,at the Solwyn Theatre. c PASSING IN REVIEW 0 The program at tho Rlvoll this week Is Just an example In simple arithmetic. For Instance! Take Thomas Mclghan plus George : Ade, plus a corking good story, plus ; funny sub-titles, plus lino direction ' t. and minus all frills and familiar film '.' fol-de-rol and the answer Is bound to kt be "Dack Homo and Broke." Y i f And now that we've finished our jf arithmetic, we'll dwell upon the T;: lUvoll's offering. Always a prime favorite with us, Tommy Mclghan is even moro so after wo viewed "Back Homo and Broke." Here, In our estimation. Is a , lino example for a lot of other writers, directors and producers to shoot at. George Ado seems to have tho happy , faculty of knowing his film audiences " ; as well as ho has always known his readers; and with Mclghan to carry ,S ."I messago tho result Is one of tho )T : happiest film offerings we have seen "j lor a long, Jong time. ,h Stcreoptlc films seem to lie the "'5 vogue these days and ono Is callml .tho Plastlcon.

Vaudrtbllt 30i ths (am name, thai we wore sort of prejudiced wlieit we started for' thr Hlnlto, But when wo sat and saw tho fnmlllar story come to Itfo on the ncroou our prejudice faded and we thorouchly enjoyed tho wholo show. It must be suld for "The Flirt" that It has everything in It u movie ought to have, and that's a strong statement coming In those days of thrills. But wo enjoyed "The Flirt" and think most movie goers will agree with us. Tho cast Is headed by Eileen Percy and Helen Jerome Eddy and numbers among Its other members stich players as Georgo Nichols, I,ydln Knott, Buddy Messenger and Harold Good win. ' Wo think you'll like "Tho Kllrt;" wo did! Tho balance of tho bill, savoring as It does of the holidays, la cntci taming. It we wetcn't tired to death ot reud Ing paragraphic plagiarisms on tho Couo method, we'd most certainly fall back on tils axiom In describing Har old Lloyd and tho plcturo game. Much as wo fought against it, we simply MUST say that every play In every way gota better and better when It Is a Harold Lloyd and, after seeing "A1 Pallor Mudo Man" and "Grandma's Boy" that Is saying an awful lot for "Dr. Jack," tho famous young comedian's latest offering ut tho Strand. All wo can say about "Dr. Jack" Is that it is Harold Lloyd at his best and working his hardest. What more could any one'ask than that? The balance of this week's bill Is excellent, containing as It does such features as would best round out a tip-top holiday attraction. But never mind tho balanco of tho program, you'll get enough real clean fun and enjoyment out of Harold as Dr. Jack' to start you on a very, merry New Year. Wo saw a p'rc-rclcuso showing of "Tho Headless Horseman." with Will Rogers as Ichabod Crane. f,ovrr.il months ago and liked it, oven when it was snown in tlio arab quiet of a projection room. And so we knew wn wore roinir to tike If. tvhiin initinr- mack in one of tho Capitol's most comrortaoie aivans yestorday. i.vor since wo learned Hint "Tim Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was to bo fashioned Into a plcturo, wo have tried to make a selection of tho actor who would most Ideally Ut Into the character of tho lanky Yankee scnooi teacher. And olus our tnougnts have vtctcsl back to the nualnt ami laconic llogers. Ho gives a performance that is so thoroughly enjoyable that we, who havo nlrendy sat through ti-o film twice, want to sco It again. Tho surrounding program, especial ly the music, is ns good as can bo seen or heard anywhere. Nearly every ono knows just what tho William Fox plcturo "Over tho Hill" lsi so wo do-not havo to go fur ther than to say that it is on for a fortnight's run nt tho 44th Street Thcutro ahd would advlao all thoso who havo never seen it to avail them selves of this opportunity, and thoso who ha-o already seen it one, two, or thrco or four times to spo It again.
