The Purple Mask (1916) EDIT “Realism is served a la Ford and Cunard. With its fights, its Paris sewers, its abbreviated feminine costumes and its action which is furious if not always progressive, The Purple Mask looms up as a big box-office attraction.” – Motion Picture News Mar 27, 2023 Full Review My Four Years in Germany (1918) 95% EDIT “Stirring patriotic propaganda.” – Motion Picture News Nov 16, 2022 Full Review The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1914) EDIT “Trick photography, original ideas, the beautiful scenes, and the novelty of the entire production, all combine to cause the picture to be one that will be heartily enjoyed and long talked about.” – Motion Picture News Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Mutiny (1917) 100% EDIT “Mr. Reynolds's latest is not so much on story, but it is fine on production. [He] gets his atmosphere whatever his subject. The old sailing vessel which he procured for Mutiny is a bark, the brine of which fairly penetrates to the screen.” – Motion Picture News Sep 7, 2022 Full Review The Secret of the Swamp (1916) 67% EDIT “This offering is a gem, and in passing, there are few pictures about which such can be said.” – Motion Picture News Sep 7, 2022 Full Review The Girl of Lost Lake (1916) 67% EDIT “Myrtle Gonzalez gives a likable performance as the girl who has been reared in the mountains.” – Motion Picture News Sep 7, 2022 Full Review The Chalice of Courage (1915) 100% EDIT “Laid in the expansive mountains of our own west, the clear views are taken in the very heart of the untouched country. The snow scenes, over which play gorgeous light and shadow effects, are beautiful.” – Motion Picture News Sep 6, 2022 Full Review Southern Justice (1917) 75% EDIT “Southern Justice is a comedy-drama of a sort that entertains more by the colorful bits infused in it by its author-director than by its plot.” – Motion Picture News Aug 29, 2022 Full Review The Wishing Ring: An Idyll of Old England (1914) 100% EDIT “There is something engaging, something fascinating about this pretty little comedy-drama that results in it being unusually attractive, even though the whole story could have been told in far less space than five reels embrace.” – Motion Picture News Jul 28, 2021 Full Review 49-17 (1917) 80% EDIT “The scenes seem to lack a certain snap and sustaining power that, if present, would have welded them into a much more powerful whole. Even as it is, however... there are places where the originality of the idea carries it to stronger heights.” – Motion Picture News May 11, 2021 Full Review For the Freedom of the World (1917) 100% EDIT “[Director Romaine Fielding's] battle stuff, done at night with an army of lights and star shells, much smoke and only an handful c:f men is effective in its own way -- a great deal more effective than the usual picture warfare.” – Motion Picture News Mar 12, 2021 Full Review The Crucible (1914) 80% EDIT “Less accomplished actresses than Miss Clark might have lost themselves in the rather sad and slightly gruesome story... As she interprets the principal part, its pathos, its charm, its goodness and its simplicity are al most equally predominant.” – Motion Picture News Mar 8, 2021 Full Review The Bar Sinister (1917) 100% EDIT “It never tires and the action always maintains the remarkable degree of suspense introduced by the ominous events of the prologue.” – Motion Picture News Jan 25, 2021 Full Review Shoes (1916) 91% EDIT “If Shoes strikes an audience in the right mood the people are going to be greatly moved by it. If it strikes it in the wrong mood they are going to grow tired of it.” – Motion Picture News Dec 16, 2020 Full Review The Carpet from Bagdad (1915) 80% EDIT “The exterior settings are as substantial as the genuine article, while the interiors of the palace, harem, hotel and other places bespeak of a minute attention to detail.” – Motion Picture News Nov 20, 2020 Full Review The Gulf Between (1917) 83% EDIT “These faults can readily be erased and The Gulf Between will then not only offer a novelty but an entertaining story as well.” – Motion Picture News Nov 18, 2020 Full Review The Splendid Sinner (1918) 63% EDIT “Miss Garden is the embodiment of the title role. She conveys the spirit of it and dresses it and suggests it in her bearings. At the same time she breathes exuberance and life into it.” – Motion Picture News Nov 12, 2020 Full Review The White Heather (1919) 80% EDIT “It is the backgrounds to which we wish to draw attention. The undersea scenes including the fight beneath the waves, photographed by means of the Williamson Submarine Tube, are still startling in their newness.” – Motion Picture News Nov 4, 2020 Full Review Madame Jealousy (1918) 71% EDIT “It lacks punch, fails to hold one, possibly because the story has a number of loopholes without which it could not have existed for its full length and possibly because the mixture of allegory and reality doesn't go well.” – Motion Picture News Aug 18, 2020 Full Review Hearts of the World (1918) 95% EDIT “After all who is responsible for all this? It is D. W. Griffith. He who can glorify the commonplace, he who can include the reality of the titanic struggle of all the world in the four walls of a theatre.” – Motion Picture News Aug 13, 2020 Full Review The Blue Bird (1918) 100% EDIT “Maurice Tourneur, who was entrusted with the hazardous task of transferring the fantastical allegory to the screen, has accomplished wonders.” – Motion Picture News Jul 29, 2020 Full Review The Vixen (1916) 60% EDIT “The way the vixen stuffs her sister and everyone else with lies which they swallow hook, line and sinker is amusing and instead of creating suspense makes you smile. The author has not granted the characters human intelligence.” – Motion Picture News Jul 27, 2020 Full Review Life Without Soul (1916) 100% EDIT “At times the picture refuses to convince, but its interest is always averagely high because of the theme's unusualness.” – Motion Picture News Jul 27, 2020 Full Review Men Who Have Made Love to Me (1918) 38% EDIT “"The stripping naked of a woman's soul" is bound to contain interesting material at least. And exciting? At times, yes. And a little aggravating also, and finally disappointing to a certain extent.” – Motion Picture News Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Salome (1918) 78% EDIT “Mr. Edwards' ability to handle the spectacular is unusual in its scope. The street fighting is staged excellently. And probably there has been no more effective scene ever staged than that between Herod and John the Baptist.” – Motion Picture News Jul 22, 2020 Full Review
