The Moving picture world (May 1922)

18 MOVING PICTURE WORLD May 6, 1922 THIS RICH YOUTH LOOKED SIMPLE, BVT HE IF^SN'T By SlcELLIOTT. Four good newspapermen and true helped to write subtitles for Mr. Owen Moore's latest picture, "Reported Missing." They are (the subtitles) as wise as they make em, and as meaningful. Mr. Moore's film, too, is a good film. Listen — Once upon a time there was a Rich Youtji who looked like a Boob, but wasn't. H> held the reins of a big steamship company for the first time on a certain Morning after the Night Before. His Rival in Business, a Big Gump named Young, had a bright idea ... to kidnap the Youth and spirit him off to quiet waters until he could Cinch a Deal. Nothing Doing! Although Mister' Moore looked like a Poor Nut, he was. Anj-thing But! He staged a'S*ell Fracas with a lot of extra men got up to look like Chinese Laundry Baggers, before the thing was over. Believe me, Boys, there was .Action in that piece! Owen Moore I don't believe I've ever seen before so odd an admixture of seriousness and foolery. The foolery is jjrobably that of newspaper humorists. — The seriousness may be theirs, too. Anyway, the combination is a satisfactory one. Owen Moore, solemn as an owl i n horn-rimmed spectacles, plays with discretion atid comic gaucherie the. hero. He is ably assisted in his job by Pauline Garon and Tom Wilson. It's worth the price of a good time to see Mr. Wilson pursuing . with ardor the 'yellow minions of J. Young, the villain. His threat to make "yellow confetti" out of every last one of them is fulfilled, literally, I believe. TITLE OF FILM: "Reported Missing." TYPE: Comedv-drama. DIRECTION: Swell. PHOTOGRAPHYTlTreat.
