...chair on that side, well-built, well-dressed, young-looking Secretary of War Davis sat. Secretary Andrew William Mellon (Treasury), got the chair on the President's immediate left, of course. He kept his chin up, with his lean, close-cropped, snowy head cocked alertly until the camera clicked. Attorney General John Garibaldi Sargent, physically the biggest Cabinet man, betrayed camera-shyness in his expressions of head, face, hands (one holding a cigar) and crossed legs. Postmaster General Harry Stewart New took his seat on the last chair, frowning benignly and nowhere nearly so tightly as Secretary Kellogg (whose...
Lions, elephants, gnus, water buffalo, pythons, a rhinoceros and a golden-haired baboon-Frederick Beck Patterson, 35-year-old President of the National Cash Register Co., reached the U. S. last week tanned and a little thin, and told how he had shot them with camera and gun during five months big game hunting in Central and East Africa. When he ended he had a ton of animal skins and heads and 18,000 ft. of cinema films plus 400 still photographs (he was in the 15th Photographic Air Service Unit during the War). That was too much...
Richard Arlen, as the abducted officer, is sufficient for the part, and William Powell plays well the half-comedy role of hostile sheik and would-be bride-snatcher.

The picture is well produced and the photography is excellent, and the hero-heroine combines a mild Valentino and Fairbanks quite successfully...
...coming to Brattle Street but usually it is in less interesting and more turgid forms than distinctive movies. The program of films scheduled for the coming months at the local guild hall is remarkable; it includes such diversions as "Stark Love", supposedly as near unpremeditated art as a camera man can approach, Janning's "The Last Laugh", and other foreign and native pictures which are made with at least one eye on an intelligent public and off the box office...
...showed his friends some cinema films last week, taken by him on his vacation in the Canadian Rockies near Banff, Alberta. Upon the screen came three dark, fuzzy objects, moving about in undergrowth many rods away. The largest object struck an attitude of attention and started to approach the camera. Rushing rapidly, it soon proved to be a mother grizzly, charging to defend her whimpering cubs. She charged far enough for Senator Shipstead's friends to see how an angry she-bear looks at 10 paces. Senator Shipstead's friends wondered how Senator Shipstead looked at the other...
