684 MOVING PICTURE WORLD December 11, 1920 THIS MAKES IT UNANIMOUS "It cannot be disputed that 'The Last of the Mohicans' is Mr. Tourneur's greatest achievement — a masterpiece of its kind. It's the greatest Indian picture ever shown. He has kept faith with Cooper's memory." — Laurence Reid, Motion Picture News. "The public owes Maurice Tourneur a vote of thanks for putting 'The Last of the Mohicans' on the screen. It will restore the popularity of the story. The production is worthy of the subject and a sterling addition to A. P.'s output." — Edward Weitzel, Mcruing Picture World. "Tourneur sets his associates a mighty pace. 'The Last of the Mohicans' is a truly great work — a master work — in picture making. It has thrills aplenty and is a box office attraction of the richest sort." — Charles Hastings, Exhibitors Trade Review. "Tourneur has done it again. 'The Last of the Mohicans' has resulted in thrills galore. There are so many of them that it is going to be difficult to make your crowd believe that all of them appear in one production. Play this up." — Wid's Daily. 'The Fort William Henry massacre will stand comparison with anything ever accomplished for the screen. For a parallel to this scene one must turn to the battle on the walls of Babylon in Mr. Griffith's masterpiece, 'Intolerance.' " — S. M. Weller, New York Review. "In such a remarkable manner has Mr. Tourneur conjoined history and art that the result is one of the most valuable features ever brought to the screen. The wise exhibitor will make his exploitation of this feature elaborate." — Irrna Frances Dupre, Exhibitors Herald.
