The Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor
Triangle
"A GOOD LOSER"
Peggy Pearce in
Certainly this is just "filum." After this has gone along: for about two reels your audience will commence to shift around in their seats and wonder whether to go out and inhale a little fresh air or stick it through on the chance that the other subjects on the program will offer a little diversion.
I can just picture them making this. Very likely none of the cast has seen the script. The director' says : "Now Peggy, Dick puts down his fiddle and grabs your hand ; then — What? Hm-m-m. lemme see — ." Looks through script. "Yea, your husband has been neglecting you and you like Dick — Yea, you smile at him when' he grabs your hand. Alright — lights — camera." And thus
do they go through the action, scene after scene, without rhyme or reason, resulting in a finished product about as animated and coherent as a pair of front steps.
I think it would be niftick to duck this but if you feel that you must play it, you might use catchlines like these :
"Are you a good loser? See Peggy Pearce in the Triangle Play by that title."
"Lee Hill was lucky at poker but he proved himself a good loser in the game of life when the happiness of a pal depended upon his silence."
"When Lee Hill discovered that a pal's wife was his former sweetheart he proved himself a 'square shooter' and a 'good loser' by keeping his secret to the end."
Peggy Pearce is a former Keystone beauty and if you have a set of the Evans enlargements of the famous beauty squad, you might dig up the one of Peggy for your lobby display on this film.
