College (1927) Pare Lorentz There are so many good things about Buster Keaton’s romantic comedy, College, that the only thing I can say is: see it. Not only is Keaton uproariously funny in this new picture, but you will find the picture is intelligently made.

The Patent Leather Kid (1927) Pare Lorentz The hospital scene in The Patent Leather Kid is the most sickening exhibition of bad taste I have ever witnessed. However, it’s all a part of the process of stimulating the public.

The Man Who Laughs (1928) Pare Lorentz I have never seen a better representation of the spirit of a novel in that the picture not only interprets the lusty romantic feeling of Hugo’s story, but it is sufficient unto itself and has no awkward turns or incongruous passages.

State Fair (1933) Pare Lorentz As it uses also genuine Americana seldom dramatized in any form, State Fair becomes one of the few important productions of the year. And in case this academic discussion of it has wearied you, I might add that it is good-humored and even funny.

Hearts in Dixie (1929) Pare Lorentz [Hearts in Dixie] has some singing and dancing that puts to shame any Broadway show.

Alibi (1929) Pare Lorentz Alibi is the best directed talking movie to date, and excellent entertainment.

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) Pare Lorentz If two writers and a director of the caliber responsible for [the film] had been allowed money and opportunity an original work the result would have to produce been far more exciting. What they have done has power, but it is spread all over the place.

The Broadway Melody (1929) Pare Lorentz [It's] filled with those stupendous sets which the movies produce from time to time just to show Ziegfeld that he is still in the amateur class but the dialogue, story, and music all sound very, very familiar. Broadway Melody is off-key most of the time.

The Patriot (1928) Pare Lorentz When you are really logy from seeing reel after reel of tasteless movies, it is flying in the face of gratitude to find fault with a picture so superior in every way as The Patriot.

High Treason (1929) Pare Lorentz High Treason has the best camera picture of the world of the future since Metropolis.

Barbed Wire (1927) Pare Lorentz Barbed Wire is a good and accurate movie, well-played by Pola Negri.

Wings (1927) Pare Lorentz You will get a real feeling of flying when you see Wings... Because of this and because it has the best photography I have ever seen in an American motion picture, Wings ranks as a superior movie.

Paris Bound (1929) Pare Lorentz Paris Bound is a well executed movie of the smart comedy of last season and I recommend it highly.
