Picture Play Magazine (Mar-Aug 1920)

Advertising Section 97 A Tabloid Review Continued from page 66 "The Man Who Lost Himself"— Here is William Faversham displaying his ability as a comedian in the most delightful piece of nonsense I have recently seen. If Mr. Faversham chose, I feel sure that he could rise to such heights of popularity during the coming year, that the Big Four would ask him to join hands with them and make it a quintet. I hope Mr. Selznick keeps him in comedy. "Thou Art the Man"— A story of the South African diamond mines that should never have been attempted on the screen, because of its frequent lapses of time that break into the train of your interest. Robert Warwick deserves better than this. "The Wonder Man"— Personally I don't fancy prize fighters on the screen, no matter how gentlemanly they are. I would much prefer to see Georges Carpentier in the real squared circle than "knocking out" a picture villain. For the same reason I prefer to watch baseball players on the diamond and, verily, I would prefer being held up on a train by a bandit than watch him capitalize his record of outlawry on the screen. For all that, "The Wonder Man" proves that Carpentier is a better actor than Jack Dempsey, which decision an eager world is doubtless awaiting. "Dollars and the Woman" — A very human version of the eternal triangle story — two men and a woman — excellently written, produced, and acted. A story by Albert Payson Terhune is its basis. George Terwilliger directed it while Alice Joyce, Crauford Kent, and Robert Gordon are seen in the principal roles. "A Trip to Mars"— To be noted principally for its foolishness. The Martians have the Greek habit of wearing white robes, they converse with the visitors from the earth in the "language of the soul" and are shocked at a show of roughness. The earthly crew make the trip to Mars in a cute little shell of an airship that doesn't look as if it could make the short run across the Pacific Ocean. "The Butterfly Man"— If Lew Cody wants to see all his popularity go straight to oblivion all he has to do is to make another picture like this. It is the glorification of a lounge-lizard. m Simple Drawin Rules of Easily Learned at Home Wonderful New Method This amazingly simple method makes it possible for anyone to learn Illustrating, Designing or Cartooning.
