PICCADILLY THEATRE
yy
Thomas H. Ince's Great Production
"BARBARA FRIETCHIE "
With Florence Vidor and Edmund Lowe Directed by Lambert Hillyer
received the following unanimous praise from the
New York critics:
"Florence Vidor and Edmund Lowe are glamorous lovers who carry you away with their sincere acting." —MILDRED SPAIN, Daily News.
"A picture produced with charm and clever restraint."— N. Y. Times.
"It is both dramatic and patriotic. Lambert Hillyer, who has lately come to the front as a director worthy of our most earnest consideration, has not failed to get every ounce of drama out of the play." — LOU ELL A PARSONS, N. Y. American.
"A fine and glowing romantic drama, woven in bright colors over a background of Civil War." — QUINN MARTIN, N. Y. World.
"Roaring cannon, marching and counter-marching troops, wild cavalry dashes and the spirit of Dixie au naturel, romance under fire — these familiar ingre
dients of a Civil War story are stirred by Thos. H. Ince until they jell and the resulting confection is 'Barbara Frietchie.' " — N. Y. Evening Post.
"If there ever was a costume play built for the single purpose of pleasing the average fan this is it. The Piccadilly audience most heartily gave vent to their pleasure by interrupting the scenes with genuine applause."— SAM COMLY, N. Y. Morning Telegraph.
"There are several patriotic and thrilling war scenes, splendid acting throughout, beautiful Southern settings, a good cast and an appealing love story." — ROSE PELSWICK, Evening Journal.
"Many scenes in 'Barbara Frietchie' reminded one of Griffith's 'Birth of a Nation,' and the picture as a whole is a creditable job. The thrilling battle scenes and the unusually good acting make it very enjoyable."—N. Y. Sun.
