You Too Special Cast M-G-M Yukon Trail, The Universal aperOpinionsonNetuPict "The Show" — Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, Capitol Theatre, New York City Sun: " 'The Show's' the thing. Not since 'The Unholy Three' has Mr. Browning turned out such a melodramatic shocker. . . . Swift, thrilling cinema, excellently photographed, lighted and titled. Gilbert excellent and human; Miss Adoree charming and sympathetic." American: "Tod Browning did excellent job of it. Settings picturesque and' unique. Sideshow stuff is excellent and tempo and interest speedily increase as story reaches climax. Highly entertaining and gives John Gilbert another opportunity to prove that he is perhaps the cleverest actor on the screen today." Post: "There's nothing quite like good hair-raising melodrama when it is well done, and melodrama screened by Tod Browning is apt to be very well done, indeed." Mirror: "Snappy and unusual story. Miss Adoree one of the shining lights of modern filmdom. ... So tonight, if you are searching for good picture, cast glance at 'The Show.' " World: "Tod Browning has made most colorful plot and has swept it through its reels in series of beautifully composed and photo.graphcd .scenes. He had, it is true, an excellent cast to work with." Evening World: "John Gilbert, Renee .Adoree and Lionel Barrymore in well constructed and excellently directed melodrama. _ Besides, picture contains thrills, situations and suspense that fairly made audience gasp. It is 'Liliom' of screen." Xezi's: "Superb thriller. . . . Tod Browning's direction is all that can he asked. Photography on production especially lovely." Journal: "Tod Browning has a flair fot unusual and some of illusions are remarkable. .• . . Gilbert (Idcs excellent work." "Don Juan" and Vitaphone — Aldine Theatre, Philadelphia Evening Eedger: "The \'itaphone reproductions were for the most part faultless. 'Don Juan' is really the high-water mark in the costume drama, lavish to a degree and splendidly appointed in the minor scenes." Inquirer: "The Vitaphone is a mechanical marvel, 'Don Juan' a rattling good .picture." Evening Bulletin: "Held in wonderment by its possibilities, audience was plainly moved and thrilled by the initial showing of the Vitaphone. 'Don Juan' is a thrilling melodrama, splendidly staged." Daily Neivs: "The most perfect .synchronization of film and record thus far achieved by science. It's a .ureat picturv aiul Juhr. :i the principal part of it." Sun: "'Don Juan' is really a gorgeous and magnificent picture. .\nd those who have not seen the Vitaphone should visit the Aldine." Morning Ledger: "It is so well done and capably acted that 'Don Juan' becomes one of the most thrilling and comnelling of feature pictures. The \'itaphone is a fascinating development in the art of motion pictures, a treat alike for the film fan and music lover. 'Don Juan' is a worthy photoplay to accompany it." Record: "The combination program with 'Don Juan' as the screen plav was ideal." Gacette-Denwcrat : "John Barrymore and the Vitaphone are fortunate indeed in having so stirring a vehicle as 'Don Juan' to mark their ioint entry at the .\ldine. The ^'itaphone accompaniment is likely to be the talk of all Pliiladclphia." PRINTED BY BLAXCHARD PRESS NEW YORK
