"Clara Bow, the champion flapper of the screen, has the leading role in "The Adventurous Sex," a story of youth's fling, which is the current attraction at the Blue Mouse. Has "The Adventurous Sex" discovered all the thrills in life? Have they tested every emotion and sampled every desire that human flesh is heir to? Some critics of the young generation say so, while their defenders cling to the argument that today's life is so complex, its tempo so swift that the flapper or modern young girl is just the natural out-growth of this jazzed-up age and not the primary cause of the jazz age. In the new Encore picture, "The Adventurous Sex," which is now playing at the Blue Mouse, Clara Bow as the part of one of these modern daughters of Eve, who insists on personally sampling the apple of experience. With sheer hosiery and sheer nerve she plunges in, manages to escape many of the traps set for her adventurous feet, but finally gets in such a tight corner that she has to cry for help, proving that, after all, the modern girl and grandmother are basically the same and sisters under the makeup. Miss Bow, who is recognized in the film world as the leading lady of flapperdom, has a very convincing and dramatic part. Other well known players, including Herbert Rawlinson and Earle Williams, are seen in her support."
