Description:
Motion Picture News was the leading film industry trade journal during the 1920s. Founded in 1908 as a counterweight to the dominant Moving Picture World, the News was the voice for the independent, non-Trust, producers. Later Motion Picture News expanded its coverage to the entire industry, supporting the independent exhibitor with objective film reviews, summaries of programs at theatres across the nation, activities of regional exchanges in the cities with regional exchanges, and excellent coverage of the coming of sound and screenings and stage shots at the major New York City theatres. -- David Pierce, 2013

THERE is a lot of human interest in this picture, as well as numerous "big punch" situations. It registers as a good, wholesome melodrama, with plenty of rapid action, and carries a popular appeal. Also, it is decidedly refreshing to meet with such a rare type of screen hero, who is anything but heroic, rather a weakling in fact, but when thrown unexpectedly, into an atmosphere altogether foreign to his nature, suddenly braces himself to meet the emergency, shows an undaunted front to his enemies, defeats their plans and wins a girl worthy of his love. That "The Inner Man" will please a majority of film patrons is a safe prophecy. It abounds in beautiful photography; is free from padding and should prove a satisfactory box office asset. The role fits Wyndham Standing like the proverbial glove. It is a capital bit of character work. Dorothy Mackaill is an exceedingly pretty and convincing heroine. The continuity is even and the action swift from start to finish. Exhibitors Trade Review, March 10, 1923. — Playg oers Pictures Physical Distributors Pat hi Ekhanci
