"Jazz Age,” the F~K.O. talking: drama* endeavours to present the youth of today in the most faithful fashion. Their speech, their merriment, mannerisms, cheers and tears ha\ T e been caught by the camera and form one of the most poignant and searching dramas that the screen has told. Taking a purely representative body of young people the director has taken them as naturally as possible, through scenes that might have been culled from the life of any community. The result is a picture that is startling in its sheer realism and tense drama. "Jazz Age" brings the life of modern youth beneath the microscope, present*. It for fair trial and through the spoken dialogue allows it to be its own advocate. Marceline I>ay, Douglas Fairbanks, Jnr., Henry B. Walthall and Gertrude Messinger are starred.
