The Opinion
A Picture Showing the Power of Faith and Prayer
There is an irresistible charm about “The Dawn of A Tomorrow” which we believe will be felt by the large majority of those who see the production, which is in part due to the fascinating story, and in part to the clear vision of its intention obtained by the director. The plot begins to unfold itself in the London slums where Glad, the only person in a district of hungry, miserable individuals, who can laugh, innocently dissuades from suicide a rich old man who afterward becomes her benefactor, and helps her to save her crook sweetheart from being held fori murder. One of the charms of the story is its illustration of faith in an invisible power which watches over us, and the consistent demonstration of the result of faith and prayer. David Torrence, Raymond Griffith and Jacqueline Logan are the central figures of the cast, and each is equally admirable in the portrayal of their respective roles. The production contains a wealth of human interest, romance, and melodramatic developments, qualities which should carry it to succeed with the middle class and high class houses. Excellent photography is a distinguishing feature.

The Opinion
A Western Picture with Good Riding Stunts
“The Galloping Ace” presents Jack Hoxie with his beautiful white horse, and a good cast with Robert McKim, the famous heavy in a central position. There is nothing out of the ordinary about this picture. It is just ordinary Western stuff, with good riding, interesting intrigue, and spectacular dynamiting as a feature. The plot of the story centers about an attempt to gain possession of the ranch of Anne Morse on which there are evidences of black marble, by threatening foreclosure of a mortgage. When this attempt fails, the villain tries to take the place by force, but is frustrated by the hero who puts war tricks to work, placing dynamite in a circular trench, and thus surrounding the attacking party. This is a good general purpose feature for the average picture house.
