Newspaper Opinions (Continued from Page 4) deportment has greatly improved as to morals, and she is the usual delight to the eyes, while Rod La Roque Reginald Denny and George Fawcett take excellent care of the masculine interest in the film. WORLD — * * * George Fitzmaurice again makes evident his ability at producing beautiful settings, proper poses and alluring scenes. But the picture has little interest. It is built upon a thin and roughly prepared story written by Ouida Bergere, Fitzmauriee's wife. HERALD— Alma Tell looks quite wellRod La Roque's the main swell, but Miss Bergere's smart folk act like bison ; let's hope that this picture will make idlers quell * * *. GLOBE—* * * is admirably fitted to the Fitzmaurice direction of which this picture is one of the best examples. SUN — * * * bound to satisfy the most discriminating taste. JOURNAL — It is a pretty romance, told with an absence of Mr. Fitzmauriee's tendency to French pastry-sort-of-sincerity. The production is elaborate and full of gorgeous and alluring surprises in the way of background. MAIL — As it is, however, with an excel lent start it develops into a weak double clinch at the final fadeout. With the stage set for a powerful tragedy, everything works itself out to a sentimental and joyous conclusion, which leaves one dissatisfied. TELEGRAM — * * * this photoplay is rich in settings and reveals amazing skill in photography. The lighting effects are among the finest seen in New York this year. In addition to these features "Paying the Piper" has a story that holds the attention. Daily News, Times, Post & Evening World made no comment. Levey Showing Today The first three episodes of "A Modern Alladin," the film dealing with electricity which is being made by the Harry Levey Service Corp., will be shown at five o'clock today in the offices of the Westinghouse Electric Co., 165 Broadway. "Outside the Law" — Universal TRIBUNE — Those who like crook melodrama with scenes in Chinatown are certainly going to like "Outside the Law," for it is much bigger than anything of the kind we have seen. AMERICAN — The character work is very good as a whole. Lon Chaney is a vicious villain and doubling as a Chinaman does equally well. * * * The action scenes form the best part of the show. The appeal of the whole play is to the eye rather than to the mind. Perhaps it will go big for just that reason. DAILY NEWS — Lon Chaney's vivid portrayal of this evil spirit is made the more remarkable since in the same film he also plays the role of a good Chinese servant. For facial expression he is unequaled on the screen. WORLD — The showing of this production Bloom May Build Sol Bloom has leased for a long term of years the Astoria Casino, Broadway and Steinway Aves., Astoria. The plot which is 200 by 1200 ft. may be the site of a one-floor theater. If plans go through, stores will be built in conjunction with it. in so many houses simultaneously marks a new exhibiting step in film plays, and the results obtained warrant the belief that in future the larger productions will be given like showings. HERALD — Miss Dean looks quite fine, and her acting can shine : Lon Chaney's a prize as the vulture ; there's a gem theft well turned, the tale hews to the line, though it will not o'erburden your culture. SUN — * * * is one of the best underworld pictures shown here in a long time * *. Times, Post, Daily News. Globe, Journal and Evening World made no comment. "Something Different"— Realart Rialto TRIBUNE— There is nothing very different in this picture. It is like hundreds of others — pleasant, well acted and well directed. AMERICAN — Here is a play in which the story is the thing, and a very good story it is. with Constance Binney as a wholesomely attractive heroine. WORLD—* * * so different from Miss Binney's usual pretty parts that all her friends will advise her to leave off such attempts at originality and get back to plain acting. HERALD — The bright Constance Binney would make a horse whinny as a girl who seeks some new sensation * ' *. SUN — The photoplay is one of effervescing romance to which Miss Rinney lends her unique charm, although it was somewhat marred by her cold aloofness. MAIL — There is a freshness about it, an absence of the trite, and such pleasing union of humor and drama combined with rapidity of action and unusually clever subtitles, that the entire picture is a joy. TELEGRAM — It is a refreshing light and well-knit little photoplay * *. Daily News, Times, Post, Globe, Journal and Evening World made no comment.
