Sherlock, Jr. (1924) 86% EDIT “This Buster Keaton feature length comedy is about as unfunny as a hospital operating room... The chances are that this picture will turn about the lowest gross of any of the Keaton's that Metro has thus far handled.” – Variety Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Destiny (1921) 79% EDIT “There is practically nothing to the picture outside of the photography that will appeal.” – Variety Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Peter Pan (1924) 98% EDIT “Peter Pan is a picture that will go down the years as a delightful fantasy and crop up again and again aa time rolls along, and with each return be welcomed with a new joy by a new band of children, who will Join the ranks of the never-grownups.” – Variety Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Snow White (1916) EDIT “How anyone could expect those possessing adult minds to sit through this feature is a mystery.” – Variety Aug 26, 2022 Full Review The Galley Slave (1915) 86% EDIT “Theda Bara, in the role of the deserted wife of the young artist, has unlimited opportunities to emote throughout the approximately 4,600 feet of the film, and she makes the most of them.” – Variety Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Far from the Madding Crowd (1915) 43% EDIT “The picture tempo abroad is so entirely different from this country that it is rather hard to follow the story as it proceeds.” – Variety Jan 10, 2022 Full Review Experience (1921) 57% EDIT “As Youth Mr. Barthelmess gave a performance pleasing and studied. Marjorie Daw playing opposite as Love was a delight in the simplicity with which she endowed the characterization. But the wallop of the entire performance was that put over by Nita Naldi.” – Variety May 19, 2021 Full Review The Dragon Painter (1919) 91% EDIT “It is a screen telling of a tale that is full of heart interest and pathos, with a twist at the end that relives the heavy tragedy that has hung over the story for about two reels.” – Variety May 18, 2021 Full Review Should a Mother Tell? (1915) 100% EDIT “It is a five-reel feature that abounds with thrills.” – Variety Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Unpardonable Sin (1919) 43% EDIT “This is a rather jumbled up and wholly improbable film version of as fully an improbable story.” – Variety Nov 5, 2020 Full Review The White Heather (1919) 80% EDIT “This is an absolute masterpiece of motion picture direction and photography and a triumph for Maurice Tourneur.” – Variety Nov 4, 2020 Full Review A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1921) 100% EDIT “There are some corking exterior shots and the interiors of the Court of King Arthur ore very effective.” – Variety Oct 21, 2020 Full Review The Battle Cry of Peace (1915) 100% EDIT “The picturing of the bombardment of the city has been worked out in a manner which will win universal admiration, and the fleets and forts in action adds much to the stirring value.” – Variety Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Madame Sans-Gêne (1925) 43% EDIT “Were it not Gloria Swanson appears In the title role Famous Players would have nothing to brag about as far as motion picture entertainment is concerned in this particular case. But Gloria is In the picture.” – Variety Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Remodeling Her Husband (1920) 86% EDIT “It is a picture that is Dorothy Gish, hook, line and sinker, and it would sink if it weren't for her.” – Variety Sep 9, 2020 Full Review The Alaskan (1924) 30% EDIT “The cast is great, the photography beautiful, direction corking, and above all, the star marks his return by giving a great performance.” – Variety Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Ben-Hur (1925) 96% EDIT “Ben Hur is a picture for all times. No matter what happens to others, Ben Hur will remain, as the Bible remains.” – Variety Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929) 93% EDIT “You can't go wrong with this picture.” – Motion Picture News Aug 18, 2020 Full Review Napoleon (1927) 87% EDIT “The photography is wretched and the direction even worse than that. If I was running a house and the picture was offered me I wouldn't play it for nothing.” – Motion Picture News Aug 5, 2020 Full Review The Village Blacksmith (1922) 50% EDIT “It gets an audience in the throat at the beginning and never releases its grip until the final minute.” – Variety Jul 24, 2020 Full Review The Case of Lena Smith (1929) 60% EDIT “The story as set forth on the screen is a peculiar one; it places the star in a role that gives her tremendous dramatic opportunity, but has an ending that cannot by the widest stretch of imagination be classed as a happy one.” – Motion Picture News Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Three Women (1924) 89% EDIT “Three Women is an exposition of as pretty a piece of direction as has been seen on the screen in some time. For this Ernst Lubitsch is to be credited.” – Variety Jul 20, 2020 Full Review Aloma of the South Seas (1926) 67% EDIT “In adapting Aloma James Creelman, who wrote the script, and Maurice Tourneur lost much of the comedy in the play, but they did turn out a picture photographically beautiful.” – Variety Jun 9, 2020 Full Review The Eternal Sapho (1916) 60% EDIT “Bertram Bracken directed the picturlzatlon and he is entitled to a great measure of credit for the work he has done.” – Variety Dec 23, 2019 Full Review The Splendid Sinner (1918) 63% EDIT “There was an idea behind the story, but that was soon lost sight of.” – Variety Dec 23, 2019 Full Review
