We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Saving the Photoplay IJfOW? Why? Because it has pumped the red blood of new life into the motion picture "given you drama so real that you could sit watching it for hours without a single 'subtitle. Because it has set a new standard in authorship, directing and acting. Because it talks without words to men and women and does it in a twentieth century way. THAT is why Variety told you "BLIND HUSBANDS" "marks an epoch" — marks the beginning of a new era of the photoplay — and why the Morning Telegraph hailed this Von Stroheim wonder play with editorial praise. That is why Photoplay Magazine and a score of others stamped it as "a masterpiece." See it — and see why. Book it, and you'll be glad you did.
