FLASHES FROM FOX

With everything in the world that goes with happiness—wealth, a beautiful and devoted wife; a respected pillar of the community—yet Charlie Cook in Fox Films’ 44 Red Wine” sought new thrills. What he found in the way of thrills and his reaction thereto forms the basis of one of the most hilarious farces ever screened. Conrad Nagel plays the role of 44 Charlie Cook,” while June Collyer plays the wife. Lois Moran plays two extremely contrasting personalities in 4 4 Blindfolded,” a Fox production shortly to be released. In the beginning of the story she is a demure little newspaper writer. Later she suffers amnesia and is made into a dupe for a gang of high class jewellery thieve. She glitters in the finery and jewels provided for decoy purposes. George O ’Brien plays opposite Miss Moran. Fine story, great cast, artistic direction and splendid entertainment just about describes “The Red Dame.” This latest Fox super-production is a story of the Russia during the revolution, with Dolores Del Rio and Charles Farrell in the stellar role. The beautiful Mexican gives probably her greatest performance since her role of “Charmaine ’» in 4 4 What Price

Glory,” as the peasant girl who becomes the famous Red Dancer of Moscow and a leader of the revolution. Charles Farrell is equally effective as Prince Eugen, whose sympathies are with the people, but who. in the turmoil of rebellion, is sentenced to die before a firing squad.
