The Film Daily (1924)

Thursday, September 25, 1924 THE Newspaper Opinions "Flirting with Love"— 1st Nat'l Lyric Skydome, St. Louis GLOBE-DEMOCRAT—* * * shows Colleen Moore * * * in the role of an actress — capricious, arrogant, yet lovable withal, the kind who mistakes temper for temperament. ♦ » * POST-DISPATCH—* * * While this is a fairly amusing picture, it gives neither star the best possible opportunity. The role of the high-tempered, seasoned and somewhat hard-boiled actress is not in Miss Moore's usual line. * * * TIMES—* * * lovely little Colleen Moore * * * proves herself capable. Her work is refreshing and will please her many admirers and no doubt make many new Colleen fans. * * • "Potash and Perlmutter"— 1st Nat'l Chicago, Chicago HERALD AND EXAMINER— Nothing could keep me away from a Potash and Perlmutter picture — not even the loss of sight. I would go just to hear the roars of laughter. * * • "The Reckless Age" — Universal Reade's Hip, Cleveland NEWS — The story in this one is a little far-fetched, but you wouldn't mind that if the picture didn't become dull before it is half finished. The acting is all right and the photography is good. * » ♦ PLAIN DEALER—* * * The story never gets within range of real life but will likely entertain many, particularly the younger feminine element, which will be fascinated by the dauntless, handsome Mr. Denny. * * ♦ Colonial, Indianapolis NEWS — *■ * * There is much at which to laugh, notably the bumpy rides in an antediluvian tin lizzie, and the love scenes between Denny and his leading woman, whom he has to take to task for not listening properly. It is all great fun for the spec;ator, with Denny doing the sort of thing le can do best. » ♦ ♦ "Revelation"— Metro.-Gold. Apollo, Indianapolis NEWS — * * * Tender, mischievous, mockng, contrite, venomous and sweet in turn, tfiss Dana, given an unusual opportunity, ;hows her metal. * * * The Side Show of Life"— F. P.-L. Park Mall, Cleveland NEWS — * * * There are light moments, umorous moments, but through it all the derlying current of the clown with the ching heart is the dominating keynote. Ernest Torrence, as the clown, gives a uching performance. • • * PLAIN DEALER—* * * Here is a picire you are certain to enjoy. There is a »t in its favor and only one really imortant point against it ; it is a little too tig. Offsetting that adverse comment is e exacting and delicate pantomime by rnest Torrence and the heroic figure he rtrays. ♦ * * PRESS — Ernest Torrence plays a heroic own in a well-filmed story. * * * "Single Wives"— 1st Nat'l New Aster, Minneapolis STAR — * * * The interest is sustained roughout and followers of Corinne Grifh will like it. • • * "The Trouble Shooter"— Fox Victoria, Rochester HERALD—* * * combination of Mix d Tony was seen in a dramatic, and at nes highly exciting photoplay. * * * TIMES-UNION—* * * a dramatic, and highly exciting photoplay. iThe White Sister" — Metro.-Gold. Smith's, Indianapolis lEWS — * * * Miss Gish is excellent in title role. Her supporting cast is a bable one, including as it does, some of the Iter film actors of Italy, where the picle was made.
