The Queen of Sheba (1921) 93% EDIT “[It] presents a swiftly moving, gracefully welded story. I can think of several places where it might have been ended with much more telling effect than with the rather dragged out finale it now boasts. But the illusion is, for the most part, complete.” – New York Daily News Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Experience (1921) 57% EDIT “I can do very well without any more allegorical films this season, thank you.” – New York Daily News May 19, 2021 Full Review Shame (1921) EDIT “The music which accompanies it is interesting; the story, although long drawn out, not a bad one, and the acting, for the main part, excellent. Especially this is so in the case of young John Gilbert, who suffers keenly as the hero.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Foolish Wives (1922) 89% EDIT “Behold, likewise, the rascal impersonated by Mr. von Stroheim, in his oiliest and most persuasive manner.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review One Glorious Day (1922) 100% EDIT “One Glorious Day is a sort of combination of The Absent Minded Professor and Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. That may sound wilder than it really is, but the film is kinda wild, though enormously funny.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Human Wreckage (1923) 71% EDIT “In her picture denouncing the drug evil Mrs. Wallace Reid attempts to convey a message, to teach a lesson. There can be no doubt that this splendid characterization film will meet with at least SOME success.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review A Burlesque on Carmen (1916) EDIT “It's a Chaplin film, and be he ever so vulgar, there's no one quite like him.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Peck's Bad Boy (1921) 20% EDIT “Peck's Bad Boy is vastly amusing, and it has its moments of excitement.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Loves of Pharaoh (1922) 67% EDIT “No matter how many marks Ernest Lubitsth doled out to the willing extras who worked in The Loves of Pharaoh they were worth it.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Abraham Lincoln (1924) EDIT “When a picture moves you to exaltation it is likely to impress you as a fine picture. Abraham Lincoln gave me that lift of spirit which is not film-induced every day in the week. I shall remember it for that.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review EDIT “Code of the Sea aims to harrow you, and does.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Triumph (1924) EDIT “It never bores you. Mr. Varconi does some capable work, assisted by such reliable actors as Robert Edeson and Charles Ogle.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review The Thief of Bagdad (1924) 97% EDIT “The Thief of Bagdad is a film which will exhaust fans' superlatives for some time to come. The flying carpet particularly makes childish dreams come true.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review The Fighting Coward (1924) EDIT “The Fighting Coward seemed to me to be awfully funny, but not because the director meant it to be.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review EDIT “The Uninvited Guest has novelty in treatment and beauty in photography. The sharp white of the coral sands offers a most effective background.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review The Marriage Circle (1924) 100% EDIT “Florence Vidor is delightful, and Monte Blue excellent. Adolphe Menjou has a smile more eloquent than polysyllables, which makes him eminently eligible for the silent drama, as it's called.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Sherlock Holmes (1922) 78% EDIT “No less a person than the ineffable Roland Young plays Watson! That in itself is worth the price of admission.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review Traveling Salesman (1921) EDIT “It has a fine, rapid swing to it and is as funny as it should be.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review The Kid (1921) 100% EDIT “Jackie, legging it madly 'cross corners, is almost as good for box office purposes as our own Charles, playing the Artful Dodger to a Bowery bum.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review EDIT “Paying the Piper is beautifully set, done with a "spare no expense" air and you may like it. Try it and see.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review Brewster's Millions (1921) 100% EDIT “Roscoe Arbuckle, whom you know much better by the affectionate diminutive of "Fatty," has a fearful and wonderful time of it.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review Orphans of the Storm (1922) 88% EDIT “Orphans of the Storm is real Griffith material, worked up at moments to the point of hysteria, but always interesting. The photography is especially good.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review The Idle Class (1921) 100% EDIT “I think all Chaplin fans will have a whale of a time with The Idle Class.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review Sherlock, Jr. (1924) 86% EDIT “Lots of people must find Buster's conduct laughable, else he would not continue making comedies... I have not found one yet. Therefore, Buster must have charm. Perhaps he is caviar to the general, and I am one of the latter class.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review The Iron Horse (1924) 73% EDIT “Of blood and tears, then, is The Iron Horse woven, an epic sort of picture somewhat after the manner of The Covered Wagon, but quite distinctive of itself.” – New York Daily News May 17, 2021 Full Review
