A number of what will undoubtedly be the year's best pictures have not yet been exhibited here. In such a category would go
When Knighthood Was in Flower,
And others, including The Bond Hoy and The Eternal Flame.
However, if photoplays shown in this city to date, (Oct. 5.) I would say that the ten best have been :
Toi'able David.
One Glorious Day.
Smilin' Through.
Loves of Pharaoh.
The Ruling Passion.
Peter Ibbetson.
The Golem.
Sherlock Holmes.
Grandma's Boy.

SHERWOOD'S "HALL OF FAME"
In November, Robert E. Sherwood, motion picture critic of "Life" and the N. Y. Herald, while commenting on the award of the Photoplay Magazine Gold Medal "Toi'able David" as the best picture of 1922, said:
Sometime, perhaps, there will be a Hall of Film Fame. Probably when that is opened the movies will have progressed so far beyond their present standing that none of the pictures which have been produced before now will deserve a place in the archives of posterity.
It seems to us, however, that there already have been pictures with legitimate claims to greatness. Were we called upon the submit a list of nominations to the Admissions Conimittco at the Hall of Fame we should propose the following:
"The Birth of a Nation."
"Intolerance."
"The Coward."
"Shoulder Arms."
"Broken Blossoms."
"The Miracle Man."
"The Mark of Zorro."
"The Kid."
"The Four Horsemen of the Aiiocalypse."
"The Three Musketeers."
"Toi'able David."
"Nanook of the North."
"Grandma's Boy."
"Oliver Twist."
"Robin Hood."
Aside from the pictures mentioned in our list, there are a few that ought to be cited as "almosts." There is, for instance. "One Glorious Day," that delightful fantasy in which Will Rogers co-starred with a wandering spirit named "EK." There are also "Victory," from Conrad's novel, "When Knighthood Was in Flower," "Behind the Door," "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," "Humoresque," "Sentimental Tommy," and any number of Chaplin, Lloyd, Kcaton and Sennett comedies.
We have studiously avoided mention of the German pictures, because we have not seen enough of them to make a comparative list. But of those that we have seen there are certainly four that deserve to be placed on the first string — "Passion." "Deception," "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," and "The Loves of Pharaoh."
