THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY—
Passed by the critics:
"MOTHER O' MINE."
Chicago, 111., Tribune.
Criticism by MAE TINEE.
'J'HIS picture is unusual for the reason that an old lady, not a young one, is the heroine and around her all the interest centers. "Mother o' Mine" is the whole thing and a delightful character she is as created by Ruby La Fayette. Just the kind of mother who must have inspired the poem, "If I were hung on the highest hill," etc.
The son in the picture is Rupert Julian, a sterling actor who can always be depended on to bring out the best in any part. These two to my way of thinking are the arguments for seeing "Mother o' Mine."
Ruth Clifford, the girl, is pretty and likable enough and she is wooed in most unusual fashion by young Mr. Standing — you'll enjoy this episode.
A STORMY KNIGHT.
Chicago, 111., News.
Criticism by W. K. HOLLANDER.
pRANKLYN FARNUM and Brownie Vernon, as usual, render a splendid performance. Their work is brilliant, and the photography is excellent. Some of the scenes were taken on a high peak in the mountains, above the clouds, and contain magnificent reproductions of the clouds themselves rolling like waves on the high seas. The night scenes are alluring. The storm in the night and the rainbow the following morning in the clear sky are contrasting pictures seldom surpassed on the screen.
"THE CLEAN.UP."
Chicago, 111., Herald.
Criticism by LUELLA O. PARSONS.
gLUEBIRD has rejoiced in a discovery since first Franklyn Farnum put himself and his infectious grin upon the screen. He fits so nicely into a comedy niche, just waiting for a young man of his size and temperament.
One thing is certain — Mr. Farnum has such an inexhaustible amount of energy he fairly commands attention. Among the busiest of these roles is the pleasant character he enacts as Stuart Adams in "The Clean-Up."
Stuart Adams radiates youth, ambition and courage. He makes us thankful for p. a.'s as they are and not as they would have been.
In these days of artificial heroines a Brownie Vernon is refreshing in her simplicity as Hazel Richards. She dresses and acts entirely within the bounds of good taste, something to which most of us who see every form of exaggerated leading ladies should gratefully acknowledge.
"SOUTHERN JUSTICE."
Syracuse, N. Y., Herald.
Criticism by THE FILM GIRL.
^fHO misses "Southern Justice" at the Strand for its final projections to-day misses a treat. "Southern Justice" is about as near a screen classic as we have.
It has been a long time since a picture more pleasantly refreshing — more like real life and real people — has been flashed upon our screens. There are some thrills in it — there's some love and there's plenty of beauty and nonsense — the combination being almost ideal.
