Another' Tol'able David f DRAGS THE AUDIENCE TO EDGE OF THE SEATS " In this intensely interesting story, Mr. Barthelmess adds another laurel to his histrionic wreath, as the critics say. ' Fury ' is one of the most colorful sea dramas ever put on the screen. The picture has a big appeal because it is ' different ' in mounting and scenic back-ground. The producers have been unusually successful in transferring the atmosphere of London's Limehouse district to the screen, while the marine end of the production is good because the company has ' shipped ' on a regular old sailing schooner. Another feature worth mentioning is the artistic as well as literary titling. These titles add much to the entertaining quality of the picture. From a photographic viewpoint, also, ' Fury ' is a notable work. The cast is one of uniform excellence. The care with which the personnel was selected is evident. No finer actor could have been found for the role of ' Dog ' Leyton than Tyrone Power. Dorothy Gish as Minnie, a waif, is a delight and recalls her character work in 'Hearts of the World.' Dorothy is a real asset to this offering. Not since ' Tol'able David,' has Dick had a chance to put up such fistic battles as he presents in this vehicle. His fights are the last work in realism. The picture opens with a thrilling battle between two terrible looking brutes. These scenes drag the audiences to the edge of the seats and we predict that most folks will remain there most of the time this one is unwinding. While the action is tense the picture is not without its comedy relief. ' Fury ' is well worth while. It is fine screen entertainment."— Motion Picture News. HERE'S AN UNUSUAL CHANCE TO CASH IN " Not since ' Tol'able David ' has Richard Barthelmess had such an opportunity, and not since this famous production of last year has he accomplished such excellent Hie QilfnWdLi results as he does in " Fury." Here is an unusual opportunity to " cash in." Barthelmess seems to live the part. You can tell your folks that this is the best thing Barthelmess has done since ' Tol'able David,' and that it ranks high in comparison with that popular production. You can also tell them that Henry King, who made ' Tol'able David,' directed Barthelmess in this, and that he has an unusually powerful cast including Dorothy Gish. She has never had a better part than in this." — The Film Daily. Presented by Inspiration Pictures, Inc. Charles H. Duell, President. Roy F. Overbaugh, Cameraman Robert M. Haas, Art Director with SMiss Dorothy Gish Directed by HENRY KING Q HEELS of tremendous drama made before the mast by the same star, director ana author who made'lol'able David"
