Herewith are found the headlines appearing in conjunction with the reviews of the ten best pictures of the year as they appeared in the various Sunday issues of The Film Daily:
THE THIEF OF BAGDAD
Probably the Most Magnificent Production of Its Kind Ever Made. A Fairy Tale Atmosphere with Doug Constantly in the Foreground of a Very Thin Story
THE SEA HAWK
Mighty Fine Picture with Strong Box Office Possibilities. Should Rank Among Outstanding Successes of Coming Season.
MONSIEUR BEAUCAIRE
Valentino Makes Dazzling Return in Tarkington's Highly Colorful Romance. Paramount Supplied the Money Bags and Sidney Olcott Did the Rest. A Splendid Production.
BEAU BRUMMEL
Outstanding Striking Performance of Star Lifts This Picture Tremendously. Delightful Love Story Should Interest Your Women Patrons. Picture Runs Entirely Too Long.
SECRETS
The Finest Box Office Attraction Norma Has Had in a Long Time. Sure Fire For Women and Likely To Be Recorded as One of the Best Pictures of the Season.
THE MARRIAGE CIRCLE
One of the Finest Comedies Ever Presented Filled with the Newest Ideas of Direction. A Charming Contribution Which Will Hold Its Place Easily Among the Very Best of the Year
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
A Most Notable Contribution to the Screen
GIRL SHY
Not as Continuous a Scream as One or Two Previous Lloyd Pictures But Surely Very, Very Funny and With a Comed3--Thrill Chase That Is the Best' of Its Kind.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
A Really Great Picture. Sincerely and Finely Done, This Should Prove of Tremendous Value for Years to Come. Another Epic of Almost the Same Import as "The Covered Wagon"
AMERICA
Once Again the Charging Horsemen Give the Thrill. Once Again Griffith Triumphs Even Tho A Great Epic Has Been Allowed to Dwindle at Times to Sheer Melodrama. But the Public Will Probably Eat It Up.
Editor's Note: It is hoped that for the list of Ten Best for the 1026 Year Book that newspaper critics will invite their readers to prepare lists, and from these make up a list of Ten which will represent the opinions of millions of readers.
