FRED STONE
in
"THE GOAT"
Story and scenario by Frances Marion Directed by Donald Crisp
An AKTCBAFT Picture
Even If Nobody Had Ever Heard of Fred Stone, "The Goat" Would Make Him An Instantaneous Success
FRED STONE is an over-night sensation in motion pictures, not merely because he is the greatest of all musical comedy comedians, but because he has delivered the goods — something new, something tremendously welcome to the motion picture patrons.
Do you believe the critics? Of course you do. Then read these criticisms, book Fred Stone, and clear the way for the big crowds.
" Fred Stone a big hit in first movie play — does acrobatics that are comic masterpieces, at Strand." — The New York World.
" Fred Stone's inimitable antics have been perpetuated in the films. His first picture feature, ' The Goat,' had its first projection at the Strand Theatre yesterday. . . . There was a line at the ticket window from early afternoon until late in the evening to see what the well known funmaker had been up to." — The New York Herald.
" This story gives the athletic Stone opportunities for all the stunts that he does on the stage, and a few more. He swings by his feet over a pool of water, walks up a flag-pole as if it were a flight of stairs, handles a rope in a way to make Will Rogers shake his hand, and skates with his well-known vigor." — The New York Times.
" When Fred Stone at the Strand, yesterday afternoon, allowed someone not only to knock him flat on his back, but to do a half revolution of his body on the top of his head, the audience knew that it was not going to be disappointed in his motion picture appearance. ' The Goat ' is his first Artcraft film, and it brings the much loved musical comedy star to the front ranks of film favorites." — New York American.
