New Pictures

The Campus Flirt (Bebe Daniels). Herein a snobbish young lady is levelled down to democratic normalcy by collegiate pranks known only to cinema directors. After the reform, she blossoms forth as athletic heroine and wins many foot races for her seat of learning. In one of these, Bebe Daniels beats her famed fiance Charlie Paddock, to the tape--being goaded on the way to victory by the encroachments of a mouse upon her sensitive calf. Another one of the screen's trivia, with an agreeable comedienne.

Tin Gods (Thomas Meighan, Renee Adoree). Tom Meighan, disappointed in a careering U. S. wife, takes to building a bridge in South America. In this task he is inspired by Renee Adoree as a reformed dancing girl. Develops a love affair with the bridge casually suggested in the background. Reenters Friend Wife and Tom agrees to go back to the U. S. Renee, seeing in this the ruin of her love, jumps to death from the bridge-- which is regretted, because Tom was only going back to get a divorce, and everyone is sorry to see Renee fade out of the picture anyhow. Like Subway Sadie, Tin Gods overlooks a gold mine to find only enough grist to keep the box office grinding.
