THE PICTURE HOUSES

COSY DE LUXE. The photoplay, which brims with hilarious situations, concerns a fashionable Long Island debutante, who wages she can write a good ci cok play. To obtain first hand informamation the girl launches upon a companionship with a band of desperadoes, who soon turn her home into a den of iniquity, and threaten her reputation in society. Mildren finds she has made a bad bargain and that “too many crooks/’ like “too many cooks,” bring disastrous results, no matter what they attempt to do. The picture features Lloyd Hugher, George Bancroft, and El Brendel, with Miss Davis. The numerous supports include “Wings of the Storm” with a now dog star.

MUNICIPAL.

Pete. Morrison combines comedy with his heroics in “The Desperate Game,” the Lariat production at the Municipal. Morrison, in the first of the picture, is seen as a “movie” cow-puncher, who has just come back to his father’s ranch after four years at college, and who brings with him a set of hoboken cow-puncher clothes, with trick silk shirt, musical comedy Stetson and whipcord riding breeches. The cow-punchers, in their overalls and flannel shirts, derive considerable amusement from the appearance of their employer’s son, and quickly separate the newcomer from his glittering apparel. Thus Morrison not only presents in “The Desperate Game,” a thrilling, exciting western, but he also puts over some gentle satire on the movie cow-punchers who bedeck themselves for their western parts as no man in Texas or Wyoming would ever dare attire himself. Chapter B—don’t miss it—of “Die Silent Flier” is also screened.
