“The Angel Citizens”
An W. M. Smith Production with
FRANKLYN FARNUM
“SHORTY” HAMILTON AL HART & PEGGY O’DAY
What Harrison’s Report says:
“Angel -Citizens” — A good western romance-melodrama, with plenty of action, thrills, and tense suspense. Human interest is also present. This picture is a great improvement over those released recently with Franklyn Farnum. The explanation is that it has been directed by a more experienced director — Francis Ford should be attractive to exhibitors catering to patrons that love Western melodramas.
“Angel Citizens” is one of a series of nine pictures which include:
“So This Is Arizona”
Read this review from the Exhibitors’ Herald:
“So This Is Arizona” should prove strong box office attraction and satisfy. There is more action and laughs compressed into six reels than many western productions contain in an entire series. What stamps the picture as out of the ordinary is the wealth of genuine humor which saturates it. It is not comedy relief. It is an integral part of the plot development. And in addition there is a series of thrills, a display of real horsemanship and one or two free-for-all fights which should bring the spectators out of their seats.
“The White Masks”
The Motion Picture News says:
“The White Masks” — Few western pictures contain the humorous “gems” that are sprinkled throughout this production. In fact, the principal trend of the plot only serves as a delay to the continuance of the comedy. Franklyn Farnum seldom will be seen in a role more uniquely adapted to his personality than that of the impromptu fight promoter which he portrays.
