THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

Mellifluous sentiment oozes from the mouth of Lionel Barrymore. It is a pleasant shock. Only once in his performance as the unselfish country doctor does he resort to his hair-pulling act. "One Man's Journey" depicts the life of a generous rural physician who struggles and struggles to amass enough money for research work. When he has the opportunity to go to the medical center in New York, he is detained because little Letty McGinnis swallows iodine. At the end we see him still struggling in the country. "One Man's Journey" is not an epic, but it is satisfactory entertainment if you think you will like Lionel Barrymore when he is not himself.

"Three Cornered Moon," the other film at the University, is unimportant whimsy, but amusing. The title is puzzling until you discover that it is a stock whose fluctuation upsets the Dimplegar family which resides in Brooklyn. When the Rimplegars had money, they were mad. Poverty sobers them; the final scene of the movie shows the Rimplegar boys piling-on their sister, Elizabeth, and her flance, Mary Boland takes the part of the stupid mother in the family who finds life simple and amusing. As usual Miss Boland makes the most of her part. Claudette Colbert, Richard Arlen, and Hardie Albright fill the major roles of minor importance satisfactorily; and Lyda Roberti, as Jenny, the cook, acts capably, just a bit too capably to be hidden in the kitchen most of the time.
