Press Comments
"Obtaining such a worth-while film from a market already overstocked with trashy, alleged 'War Features' was a triumph for the "STRAND' Theatre." — New York Sun.
'■ 'ENGLAND'S MENACE' — (3 parts) — is a powerful plea not only to England but to this country, not for war and bloodshed but for preparedness to prevent both. It comes now in the nature of a prophecy — it stirred all England and will undoubtedly cause a sensation among thinking Americans. It is of peculiar interest to the citizens of a country which has so small a standing army as the United States." — Morning Telegraph, New York, 8, 30, 14.
"It seems as if the London Film Company had been gifted with clairvoyant powers in producing this subject at this time. 'ENGLAND'S MENACE' is a tribute to the powers of both the author, Bannister Merwin, and the director, Harold Shaw, who carried out the details of the scenario with remarkable skill. The story implies the assistance of the British Government, which probably realized the power contained in such a picture for arousing public opinion on the vital subject of Home Defense." — The Motion Picture News, New York, 9, 5, 14.
"The theme is well carried out — the series of incidents in the action of the picture (ENGLAND'S MENACE) are concise and sustain the deepest interest. The scenes showing the battleships stripped for action and in war array are impressive to a high degree."
— Moving Picture World, New York, 9, 5, 14.
