For Alimony Only (Leatrice Joy). Two couples in a criss-cross complication prove that true love under the direction of the heroine will triumph over mercenary ambitions of less exalted members of the cast; prove also how dull such business can be.

Kosher Kitty Kelly (Viola Dana). The Jews and Irish are at it again, this time in cinema based on the play by the same name. Assorted gangsters, policemen, heroes, heroines emerge from the fracas in a glowing Hebraic-Hibernian conglomeration for the delight of broad-minded onlookers.

The Marriage Clause (Francis X. Bushman, Billie Dove). Francis X. Bushman returns as the stage director who develops a raw girl (Billie Dove) into a great actress. He loses his position because the achievement has made his continued direction superfluous. Later it is revealed that he is quite necessary after all. The temperamental star can act only when she fancies her former teacher is present. The film has some good moments, but it seems woefully stupid to characterize the hero as the hypnotic control over an erotic heroine instead of the vital factor in her art. Warner Oland is back as the heavy cinema lago.
