Newspaper Opinions (Continued from Page 3) TELEGRAM—* * * Done with extraordinary skill. POST — The director has lopped away everything but the sensational, and the sum of that is nothing but a melodrama of the Colonial wars. * * * He has staged some scents of rare, even breathless beauty, pictures that have the quality of the best of that old English wall paper depicting sylvan contentment and the' like, pictures that are sometimes suggestive of Claude de Lorrain, SUN — * * * This French producer has set a fashion that American directors might well follow, especially with his beautifully photographed outdoor scenes, which make nature almost as grand as Cooper described it. American, Journal, Globe and Evening World made no comment. "The Bait"— F. P.-L. Rialto WORLD — Purely as an interesting cinema play, "The liait," Mr. Tourneur's other production at the Rialto, surpassed the larger and more expensive one. TRIBUNE — It is principally because of Miss Hampton that we liked the picture. * We fancy that Miss Hampton could do marvelous things with a polite comedy. She has undoubted talent and charm and, best of all, sincerity. Somehow we fancy that she would need very little directing. TELEGRAM— Like the original, the photoplay has many thrills. * * * There is enough action in this live reel picture to make a week-size serial. SUN — There is plentv of action five reel picture. American. Times. Herald, Journal, Mail. Post, Globe World made no comment. this Daily News, and Evening New Unit in Spokane Spokane, Wash.— Incorporation papers have been filed here by O. D.
