Blase New York Critics Doff Hats at Excellency of Production Made by Jackmans
Severe Eastern critics lavished praises on another Fred Jackman production when "The Devil Horse," made for Hal Roach for Pathe release, had its world premiere in New York City recently.
"The Devil Horse," which stars Rex, "king of wild horses," was directed by Fred W . Jackman, A. S. C, and was photographed by Floyd Jackman, A. S. C. The triumph is made more complete for the Jackman family by virtue of the fact that Master Fred Jackman was accorded the plaudits of the New York audiences for the prominent part that he essays in the feature.
Direction, story interest and photography alike are praised in the following New York reviews which are reprinted in part herewith :

Herald-Tribune:
This picture has been made by a man or men with imagination, and there were little whimsical touches in it which delighted us. For instance, a title was flashed on the screen reading, "The news flashed through the wild country — the devil horse had captured a man!" Then followed a scene where the wild horse was being ridden by the hero, while out of the grass peeped rabbits and out of the forest peeped wild deer, eyes wide with wonder as they crashed back into the woods to carry the news to their neighbor: "The Devil Horse has captured a man!"

World :
Rex, the silver screen stallion, the handsome, big, black horse, the Lionel Barrymore of equine dramatics, prances across the white sheet in Warners' Wondertheatre this week in a cinema written so expertly as to render him in his art quite considerably more than human. Wherever a good horse with a fine, steady eye, a high, rangy head and a barrel of dynamite in each leg is loved, Rex will attract and win.
American :
Another gifted animal this week holds forth at the house usually devoted to Rin-TinTin, the wonder dog. And Rinty's own audience, fickle and unashamed, doesn't object in the slightest. For it is Rex, as "The Devil Horse," which stamps impatient feet.
Evening World :
"The Devil Horse" is a good deal more than a trained animal act photographed. It is cleverly and logically constructed drama with the human element present in a sub-plot that entertains and adds to the major drama without interfering with is.
* * * * Times:
"The Devil Horse" was produced by Hal Roach and directed by Fred Jackman. In it figures that remarkable horse named Rex, which will be remembered as the animal who gained no little fame, for what might be termed a performance, in the film called "Rex, the King of Wild Horses."
Rex is just as wonderful in "The Devil
Horse" as he was in the other picture.
