MAD LOVE--Pola Negri succeeds in occasionally vivifying a typical sirenade of Liane, the toast of the boulevards, whose specialty is driving lover after lover to ruin, death, or the booby-hatch. After tenting on the old vamp ground unrepentantly, through numerous reels, she discovers sin's ultimate wage to be strangulation and is murdered by ex-lover No. 19 in the middle of a carnival. A German film with the usual admirable mass-effects.

MR. BILLINGS SPENDS His DIME-- Walter Hiers in a role originally designed for Wallace Reid--the dashing young American who foils the revolutionists of one of those South American republics, all for love of the President's daughter. The story would have been well-suited to Wallace Reid's light touch--but it seems to fit Mr. Hiers a little tightly about the hips.

THE FROZEN NORTH--A most hilarious take-off on the superfilm of the Great Open Spaces where Men are Men, starring Buster Keaton.
