Motography (Jan-Jun 1918)

April 20, 1918. MOTOGRAPHY 739 Egged On, with Victor Moore (Paramount) — "Splendid comedy, slapstick but not too silly to be funny. One reel, yet long enough for many good laughs." — J. F.

Done, Gayety Theatre, Pay son, Utah. His Mother's Boy, with Charles Ray (Paramount) — "Very good. Personally I believe Ray is the greatest actor on the screen.

Oh that there were more like Ray." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theatre, Belle Fourche, S. D.
