Even Surpasses 'Humoresque'"
This Is the Verdict of the New York Newspapers
"It even surpasses Fannie Hurst's now famous 'Humoresque.' It is a constant delight. As regards the other films that have flowed from Miss Hurst's prolific pen, it is so much better that a comparison would be worse than odious.
" 'The Good Provider' represents the triumph of pantomime over print."
» — New York Sun.
"Another 'Humoresque' at Rivoli. At the risk of annoying those who consider 'Humoresque' the last word in film production, we must confide that this seems quite as good, if not better.
"We forgot the audience and wept at Davidson with his incomprehensible family.
"Vera Gordon plays again a mother role — quite as perfect as her first. Cast are excellent. Here a bow to Frank Borzage, an inspired director. Beautifully mounted by Joseph Urban.
"This is one of the three films of the season which must under no circumstances be missed."
— New i ork Globe.
THE, GOOD PROVIDER
WITH
VERA GORDON andDORE DAVIDSON
STOW BY FANNIE HURST; SCENARIO BY JOHN LYNCH; DIRECTED BY PRANK BORZAGE SETTINGS BY JOSEPH URBAN.
"This newest play by Fannie Hurst might be considered a second chapter to that magnificent domestic drama, 'Humoresque.' "
— New York Journal.
"Something seems to tell us that we would be all wrong in pronouncing 'The Good Provider' a better picture than 'Humoresque,' so we shall compromise by saying that we liked it better.
"We did not know that William Collier, Jr., was such a good actor, nor that Vivienne Osborne was such a beauty.
"We give Frank Borzage due credit. The settings are by Joseph Urban; of course they are very fine."
— Harrietle Undcrhill, N. Y. Tribune.
"At last the screen shows signs of becoming original. Has tingling human quality. The picture might be labeled 'Any Home — Any Family Argument.' Extremely natural handling given it by Frank Borzage. The beholder more interested than if it was his own family fracas.
"Often captions aren't needed, so well has this been conceived as a living picture rather than a moving picture.
"Miss Gordon and Mr. Davidson do so well they could be advertised as 'appearing in person — not a movie.' Davidson's pantomime speaks reels of subtitles for itself."
— New York Herald.
