IT'S A PLEASURE
to publicize the product of Action Pictures— newest addition to the ranks of independent producers — along comes *'The SKy Spider"-^first of 24 features which Action Pictures will make this season — immediately the trade and newspaper critics relieve Action Pictures' press agent of the necessity for devising new ways of saying ''Great" and "MarvelOUS"""
shrewd picture judge Red Kann says "The 'Sky Spider' marks an auspicious start for the ne^w company''— that's better than "Great" or "Marvelous"— Regina Cre^ve in the New^ York American states— "It Will Be Nicely Received"— thanks Regina —Phil M. Daily considers "The Sky Spider" a "Very Entertaining Yarn"— and Irene [Star] Thirer reviewing for Ne^w York's Daily News waxes enthusiastic writing '*The ^Sky spider' Crashes Through Like Nobody's Business"— a blurb like that from a press
agent would be regarded as so much "hooey" —
and now— "Chinatow^n After Dark"— second Action Pictures
production— will give the critics another opportunity to lighten the press agent's burden— "ChinatO'Wn" has a swell cast— Harold Lloyd's leading lady Barbara Kent— handsome, manly Rex Lease— gorgeous
Carmel Myers—and the stage and screen vet Edmund Breese— it
shouldn't be hard praising a picture with that cast — especially with Ralph M. Like at the production helm— Ralph is the Big Shot at the production studios of Action Pictures—
