IjylLll producers are rapidly emerging from a period of
1 Luitineiui ttlugghthnejii and are evidencing their faith in
the motion picfure industry in the arrival of better pic
tures by releasing thl neanon an array of pictures surpass

'Tress agent stuff," you may say.
But 'tis so, notwithstanding the fact that less pictures
are being released and not every studio is operating on the
weat coast. Word from the film colonies Indicates that pro
ducers look for a revival ef the motion picture Industry
through the presentation of higher clans stuff, whether the
public wants it or not. And it may be recalled with telling
effect that when such pictures as "The Christian," "Silas
Marner," "David Copperfield" and other classics of litera
ture were filmed years ago they had to be forced on the pub
lic somehow or other they didn't go across, so to speak.

Wallace Reid play the role oT ih
young American who is unacquainted
with the modern, and sophisticated
girl. Bebe Daniel is delightful as the
girl. Conrad Nagel gives one of the
finest characterization of hi career

such a term can' be applied to the
catty young" woman, who doe her
best to ruin the romance of her
friend because both happen to love
the tame man.
The story of "Nice People" has to
do with a modern girl who resent
the ludden assertion of parential au
thority. In a fit of pique she finds
herself accidentally in a seemingly
compromising situation. The other
man doe not always understand, but
he if always loyal. With his aid and
the assistance of a sympathetic aunt,
the girl doe a right about face that
brings happiness in the end, but only
after some trying experiences for the
young woman. ;
