Barthelmess at his BEST
A GREAT SEA YARN
WITH THRILLS, LOVE, PATHOS
" A great sea yarn with all the thrills, love and pathos usually associated with a Henry King production. It is a story that arouses the interest at the start and holds it throughout and will appeal to all who enjoy virile tales of the deep, with no false morals or over-sentimentality. Advertise the return of Dorothy Gish as Barthelmess' leading woman. This has the virtue of a simple, well-told story, is well acted and produced on a scale worthy of the star and his support. There is good character drawing and everyone contributes his best performance. The fight in a sailors' inn and another on board ship in the last reel are scenes you won't forget for many moons. Barthelmess plays with that quiet restraint that has won for him an enviable place among America's foremost screen stars. Tyrone Power, as ' Dog ' Leyton, scores a distinct hit. Dorothy Gish plays with spirit. The sea
' shots ' on the ' Lady Spray ' are the last word in striking marine photography and constitute some of the best features of this well-made motion picture." — The Exhibitors Herald.
A PICTURE THAT GRIPS YOU EVERY MINUTE
" A straightforward, well-told story with tense drama, suggestive of the surging sea. It is unvarnished in its realism, red-blooded in its treatment and will appeal to all who like virile drama. The role of ' Boy ' Leyton gives the star opportunities for some of the best work of his screen career. Director Henry King has given this story a fine production. Nor has the comedy element been neglected. This is strikingly brought out in the role of the little water-front slavey in love with ' Boy.' Then, too, there is pathos that grips the heart strings. The types in this picture are wonderfully well chosen. It holds your attention throughout, and is one of the star's best pictures." — Moving Picture World.
THIS ONE SHOULD GIVE SPLENDID SATISFACTION
" An excellent sea story that should find favor with all the admirers of Richard Barthelmess and Dorothy Gish. Good suspense is developed through the story and a thrilling climax is built up. There are numerous comedy situations that are well placed. This production should give splendid satisfaction. The realism of the sea is actually felt in ' Fury.' All of the scenes have been splendidly made and afford practically faultless atmosphere. There are a couple of thrilling fights. Richard Barthelmess does a fine piece of work. Dorothy Gish is also splendid. The entire cast of characters in fact is excellent and some fine bits of characterization are given. — Exhibitors Trade Review.
