Thanks for the Buggy Ride. This is one more somewhat rickety vehicle for the comic daintiness of Cinemactress Laura La Plante. It is an antiquated wagon, moving along upon wheels of device so often employed that they squeak loudly: thus, at a picnic, pigs gobble the sandwiches; when the picnickers, a young songwriter and a dancing instructress, seek nearby shelter they are embarrassingly mistaken for a married couple, which, later on, they become. Thanks for the Buggy Ride seems to be unconscious of its triteness. It has a careless, youthful, bumptious gaiety, which gives it the quality of a nutting...
...Jerusalem. One of the two genii of the fountain is a fabulously shrewd and rich international night club man. The Knight of Grace is Chairman Frank Henry Cook of the Board of Thomas Cook & Son, Ltd., famed world-wide tourist agents. The genii control La Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits et des Grands Express Européens, which, however, one calls "Wagons-Lits," ("Vagon-Lee"), and everyone knows to be the firm which owns all the sleeping cars on the Continent.* Last week "Wagon-Lits" absorbed "Cooks'," as of Nov. 1, 1927. Why was that like milk shake into...
Patrolman Di Lorenzo knew something of all this. Five years ago, when he was driving a milk wagon on a Long Island route, he had seen a customer's child strangling in the same condition as was Mrs. Lambert's. Firemen had helped save that first child by means of a pulmotor. Patrolman Di Lorenzo remembered how the pulmotor worked. He placed his mouth to that of the child and sucked. A plug of mucous came loose; he spat it away. He blew into her throat, sucked; blew, sucked-until she could breathe by herself and live...

Brilliant direction by Fred Niblo does much to whip up a story that is pulling a heavy wagon of argument. But most of the credit for making The Enemy an engrossing and beautiful moving picture must go to Actress Lillian Gish, in the role of the wife whom war has robbed. Now 29, Actress Gish appeared on the stage for the first time when she was 4 years old at a salary of $10 weekly. Now she has $8000 a week, a police-dog, a canary, a gluttonous appetite for licorice candy, and a reputation for frail, goldenhaired beauty that...
