Your admiration for Miss Ferguson may help you bear the film. POST—* * * The film works up to the several strong situations of the stage play. * * *It is the play screened, and still conscious of its act divisions. Elsie Ferguson, beautifully gowned and, what is more, looking it, is the Carlotta. SUN — The photoplay is an interesting screen version. * * * The photoplay and settings, although not out of the ordinary, enhance the production, with which Mr. Taylor acquits himself, as usual, with honors. MAIL — * * * It is a pity that such a picture should be attached to an event like the theater's celebration. * * * "Sacred and Profane Love" was bad enough as a stage piece. If anything, it is worse on the screen. TELEGRAM — Miss Ferguson is even better on the screen than she was on the stage. JOURNAL — "Sacred and Profane Love" at least brings lovely Elsie Ferguson back to the screen at the Rialto this week. That, is about its only virtue. Daily News, Tribune, Globe and Evening World made no comment. "Mother Eternal" — Abramson Prod. Casino WORLD — The picture generally is poorly conceived, poor-ly cast, poorly directed and poorly exhibited. There is an exception to this. For a time, Vivian Martin, a pretty and talented screen actress, does not lose her attractiveness even in these surroundings. HERALD—* * * Miss Martin displays unexpectedly sincere emotional power for one who has hitherto been cast in polite comedy roles. * * * AMERICAN — Ivan Abramson, who wrote the story and directed it, is to be congratulated. * * * And the picture, although creaking with the ache of none too plausible circumstance, * * * is nevertheless * * sincere. SUN — But well balanced work by Thurston Hall, Earle Metcalfe and J. W. Johnston and some effective bits of directing make "Mother Eternal" a rallying point on Broadway for maternity. TELEGRAM— Miss Vivian Martin displays unexpectedly sincere emotional power as the mother in "The Mother Eternal." GLOBE— A puzzled but polite audience sat through the film with admirable patience. JOURNAL — Vivian Martin is the star of this latest film. Always an actress of charm and appeal, she performs a splendid feat of characterization in the star role. Her skill and sincerity do much to give the entire production dignity. Daily News, Tribune, Post, Mail and Evening World made no comment. "Made in Heaven" — Goldwyn Capitol HERALD — The picture, plus Moore, is engaging. * * * TRIBUNE—* * * Amusing, but in no degree as amusing as "Hold Your Horses," his previous picture. AMERICAN—* * * Just a pleasing bit of sentiment. * * * SUN—* * * Pleasant comedy. * * * TELEGRAM— All of Tom Moore's magnetic quality is apparent in the new film play. "Made in Heaven," in which he appears at his best on the screen at the Capitol this week. JOURNAL—* * * Typical Tom Moore film. * * * Daily News, Post, Mail, Globe and Evening World made no comment. "The Non-Sense of Censorship" Several well-known authors and playrights are making appearances in "The Non-Sense of Censorship," made for the National Association and now being shown in states where there is censprship agitation. Douglas Fairbanks is the only screen actor in the picture. He shares star honors with Rupert Hughes, Edward Knoblock, Samuel Merwin, Thomas Buchanan, Rita Weiman and Montague Glass, all of whom act like veterans and show no evidences of "camera fright."
