The Greater Law
(1917)
|
Clipper Staff
|
This story of the Northwest is one that is bound to be pleasing, as it is well aimed and acted, with its suspense carried perfectly throughout... The acting of Miss Gonzalez and George Hernandez is superb. Credit must also be given to Jean Hersholt.

The acting throughout is excellent. Myrtle Gonzalez, George Hernandez and George Chesebro doing particularly well. Director Reynolds has outdone himself in his share of the work, making an interesting screen play.

(1916)
|
Clipper Staff

The acting is of the very best, and the production, as a whole, reaches the highest standards of screen art In every relation. Beatriz Michelena Is happily cast, and gives an exceedingly well studied and distinctive performance.

Where Are My Children?
(1916)
|
Clipper Staff
|
Where Are My Children? Is a rather frank discussion of a subject better fitted for private conversation than the screen.

Far from the Madding Crowd
(1915)
|
Clipper Staff

The scenery Is pretty and the cast performs acceptably enough, but the trouble seems to lie equally between the drawbacks of the story as a medium of visualization and the manner In which it was produced,

Salomy Jane
(1914)
|
Clipper Staff
|
[Beatriz Michelena's] work throughout is highly artistic, and her rendition of the difficult Salomy role, a part easily overacted, is earnest and painstaking, and always convincing.

The Last Days of Pompeii
(1913)
|
Harry Ennis
|
To use the rather trite phrase, "awe inspiring" in relation to this is possibly a poor way of describing the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii, for it reaches the superlative in motion picture production, and has never seen equaled,

The Dream Girl
(1916)
|
Clipper Staff

Excellently produced photo play up to Lasky's best standards. [Mae Murray is] ably supported by good cast, including that always artistic player, Theodore Roberts.

The Little American
(1917)
|
Clipper Staff

Mary Pickford is always Mary Pick- ford, and her work is up to her standard but, in this picture she must divide attention with the gripping story.

Good acting is done by Joe Girard, Donna Drew and the rest of the company. Ruth Ann Baldwin has acquitted herself with credit in the dual capacity of scenario writer and director.

Brewster's Millions
(1914)
|
Clipper Staff

Edward Abeles, who played the part or Monty Brewster some 1,900 times on the speaking stage, has surprised his most extravagant well wishers and admirers by his almost uncanny knowledge of "screen technique."

The Edison Minstrels
(1913)

Kelcey Allen

The pictures are a genuine success and bid fair to revolutionize the moving picture game... The voice and the mannerisms are so naturally reproduced that it is difficult not to believe that the figures shown on the screen are not human beings.

Shoes

This sort of stuff has been done to death for years In the cheap touring' companies, and as presented by the Blue Bird Co. Is neither better nor worse than the average film treating of a similar theme.

The Fall of a Nation
(1916)
|
Clipper Staff

As a comedy The Fall of a Nation might be taken seriously. As a dramatic effort or a plea for preparedness it constitutes something more than its title would suggest, i.e., the fall of a feature.
