Vol. 26, No. 10 Universal Weekly 5 Needs No Fluff “The Cat and the Canary” needs no fluff. It needs nothing but good projection, plus whatever you are in the habit of adding in the form of music. “The Cat and the Canary” is the kind of a picture which can be projected ice-cold in a projection room before the hardest-boiled kind of critical audience, without suffering. It is one of the biggest pictures ever made — not in the sense of big, elaborate settings, but in bigness of theme and handling. Mr. Paul Leni directed it with an amazing degree of artistic skill without losing the slightest particle of its value as entertainment. Everywhere it is creating a furore. It is “one of those things” which seems to become known as an outstanding success all over the world almost overnight. A powerful, well advertised title — a perfect cast — masterly directing, lighting and camera work — it is the rare combination so seldom found! When you get pictures like “The Cat and the Canary,” you need not add any fluff nor frippery to put it over. It puts itself over with its own strength.
