How TO BE A Movie Review i.k (hi '■>»<• Lrsxoii)
I \(:Ti; — \'iiu know tlu' Uind of ni ition picturr criticisms you n ;ivl in the daily newspapers and in the trade ])ap(TS. But liave V. 1' ever thought of trying it ynitrsrif.' HertV how to do it).
I < the director wrecks an autoniohilc :
Truly no expense has heen spared.
If it is a wildly improhahle melodrama:
Crammed full of real thrills and possessini; a wealth of action.
I f the principal cutie is in ]Kril .•mywhere :
kepletc with heart interest and haviiij; an absorhing love story.
If the star is tlownrifjlu bad :
The drama carries itself, altho tlu])opular star was never better.
If the star and the storv arc botli had:
.Agreeably entertaining and marked ■iv >nperb photography.
1 f a mystery tale :
Perplexing story in which the interest of the absorbed spectator will lie held to the end.
If the cutie wears several gownv :
.Star runs the whole gamut of emolions.
If the cutie reveals a glycerin tear in the close-up:
Here is. indeed, a triumph of emotional acting.
I f the plot is almost invisible :
A sweet and simple photoplay of rare wholc.soniene.ss.
h'or any |)holoplay including a nioh scene : (ireater punch thpii "The Birth of a Nation." For any jihotoplay with a spiritual rcforniatioi! : More uiilifting than "Ttie Miracle Man." For any photoplay attemirtiiig hazy "art" iihotography : Nothing like it since "Broken Blossoms." For any star wearing curls :
. . . gives a sweetly unsoiihisticatcd ])erfoniiancc whicli plays U])on the heart strings. I'dr any male star :
That lie succeeds in this dillicult role attests to the ability of the sterling actor that he is.
