Sunshine Harbor — Pathe
O effort has been made to redeem this hackneyed story of the girl forced into a marriage against her will and who is placed in a compromising position by a man for whom she really cares — with her father
believing the worst of her.
Instead of the logical treatment;
Above is Anita Stewart in "Rose of the Sea"; at the right is a scene from "Sunshine Harbor," with Janet Beecher; and below, Clara Kimball Young as she appears in "The Hands of Nara" '
which in that sort of unnatural father would be to force the man who accompanied her on her compromising adventure to marry her, the ridiculous parent redoubles his efforts to make her marry the man of his choice. So daughter runs away to New York and immediately becomes a reporter. She covers a big fire and is burned so severely that she is blinded. So the time-worn situation of her father, the physician, is dragged in by the heels — he being called tipon to operate without knowing her identity. They still persist in using this antiquated plot. But at least it can be made fairly interesting if some novel, unexpected twists are employed. You look in vain for them here. Margaret Beecher gives a negative performance, altho she radiates a bit o' charm.
The Hands of Nara — AIetro
Here is a picture which possesses possibilities but which have been neglected in the development. With Richard ' , Washburn Child
as author of the original which created some little stir among the literati, one looked forward to something more entertaining than what is revealed. It's talky and "walky" — the titles being very frequent and the characters ever on parade. The shining figure here is Clara Kimball Young in the role of a Russian refugee. She does not have to be a member of the "Chauve-Souris" to be taken up by society. But after she visualizes a revolution in New York similar to the one from which she escaped, she turns to faith healing with apparently very little reason. It has taken four subtitles and three views of New York harbor to get her into the United States. If these faith healers could only put their hands upon the plots and make them well— such types of stories would carry more significance. "The Miracle Man" started something and they cant finish it. Miss Young, Elliott Dexter, Edwin Stevens, John Miltern, and the others are all capable of more feeling. They do little but wander and ponder. "The Hands of Nara" could have been a ^reat deal better.
