The Gold Rush
(1925)
|
ETR Staff
|
Chaplin is superb. He is a comedian, true yet he is also a great dramatic artist, and in this production he has so well mixed the elements, that the world of celluloid must bend the knee.

The Pill Pounder
(1923)
|
ETR Staff
|
Some mixed labels on drug bottles serve to create a situation [that] results in some good knock-about comedy. In the cast with Mr. Murray [is] Clara Bow, who is perhaps the most promising of the younger actresses.

Sherlock, Jr.
(1924)
|
Michael L. Simmons
|
Pleasurable entertainment for the family; laughs galore for the case-hardened. Fun for young and old alike. It's just the prettiest piece of feature comedy work the writer has seen in many weeks of movie-going.

Captain January
(1924)
|
George T. Pardy
|
Baby Peggy is called upon to do some pretty strenuous emotional acting, and proves just as equal to the demand as she has heretofore been in straight comedy.

The Grub Stake
(1923)
|
George T. Pardy
|
[There are] hairbreadth escapes and thrills galore, the plot is a bit far-fetched and at times unconvincing, but patrons who find pleasure in viewing features of this type are not likely to care whether the story's logic is a little strained or not.

A Blind Bargain
(1922)
|
George T. Pardy
|
The picture is exceptionally entertaining and works up to a climax which if not convincing is decidedly thrilling... Mr. Chaney essays the dual role assigned him with that fine assurance which marks all his work.

Peg O' My Heart
(1923)
|
George T. Pardy
|
Occasionally there comes to us a screen revival of a favorite stage play that lives up to all expectations. And equally rare it is that we see the original star playing the lead on the silver sheet. Such are the endorsements that Peg O My Heart carries.

Minnie
(1922)
|
George T. Pardy
|
It is a happy combination of comedy and drama with a rather unusual romance and many bright spots running through the story that should easily provide laughs enough for all.

The result is a photoplay of great individuality, and of distinct originality, which are reflected in costume and setting.

A Bill of Divorcement
(1922)
|
George T. Pardy
|
In presenting its story there is no preachment for or against anything; merely it tells a moving story involving people whose appearances, actions, motives and circumstances are quite possible of duplication in any home in the world.

Sappho
(1921)

George T. Pardy

The picture is, on the whole, well directed, handsomely photographed and Miss Negri's acting is excellent.

Lotus Blossom
(1921)
|
Roger Ferri
|
[Lady Tsen Mei] is justly starred. She will be heard from, for such work as she does in Lotus Blossom cannot go unnoticed.

Safety Last
(1923)
|
George T. Pardy

In Safety Last the inimitable Harold Lloyd adds another brilliant comedy success to his long list of mirthful screen triumphs.

Ravished Armenia
(1919)
|
Helen Rockwell
|
The real purpose of the picture is to present to America the conditions existing in Armenia today, and to thereby elicit America's aid. No more potent appeal appeal could have been made.

The White Heather
(1919)
|
Alfred Rushford Greason
|
It has an abundance of highly flavored action, opportunities for fine outdoor settings, and a gripping story which works out in constantly ascending dramatic values to the powerful climax in a submarine fight be- tween the hero and the villain.

The Thief of Bagdad

George Blaisdell
|
As a spectacle The Thief of Bagdad is magnificently and thrillingly impressive. Almost it may be said it is pure magic.
