DE MILLE PRODUCTION . 192 any of the big American prcductions that have met with s0 much success in this coun- try. Birmingham Gazette: The story deals with three girls all born on the same day as 'Queen Victoria ana destined for very different stations in lite. Of course, the English critic is liable to be prejudiced on account of this cinema being laid in Eng- land in the days of Queen Victoria and of Dickens and Thackeray. Nev- ertheless, we maintain that the Eng- lish Derby of 1850, the coronation of Victoria and the Charge of the Light Brigade in this picture excel anything we have ever seen in Am- erican productions. - Liverpool Echo: From the scene of Stephenson's first steam engine that tore through England at eight miles .an hour on Coronation Day, 1837, to the Queen's Jubilee proces- sion fifty years later, we are so car ried away by the wonders of Vie- torian England that Wwe actually live with the characters in the story. London Pall Mall and Globe: Red- blooded melodrama is mixed with history of the Victorian era in a cinema which we feel lke calling the greatest picture ever made, London Daily Express: Sebasto- pol, Inkerman and Balaklava and Florence Nightingale at Scutari are staged so vividly that the spectator actually lives in the romance of rimea. | Nottingham Guardian: The coro- nation of Queen Victoria on the streets of London eighty-five years ago is staged so masterfully that the Queen, 'the guards; the flunkey and every lord and chimneysweep in the crowds live before one's eyes. Brighton Standard: The thing most, striking to our eyes was the master touch of Dickens or Thack- eray which is felt when the charac- ters make their way to see the Queen's jubilee procession from the same spot from which, fifty years earlier, they had viewed the corona- tion. Every London cobblestone un- der their feet sends a pang of re- miniscence to the spectator's 'heart. Manchester Empire News: For historic and dramatic interest, Se. bastopol, Inkerman and the Charge of the Six Hundred at Balaklava surpass al battle scenes we have ever seen In cinemas. or ~_ London Sunday Sports Telegram: The English Derby and the cock fight in the sporting days of the fifties give the present day sports- man the thrill of his life. Every bookie and jockey is a treat to the And a remarkable innovation in this cinema is that one jockey's cap is red so that the spectator can follow the course of the horse that Travers is backing. Hkeston Pioneer: But of all the masterful strokes in motion pictures, there is one intimate scene of the Charge of the Light Bridage, which is, in our opinion, the most wonder fal touch ever staged on the screen, a remarkable plece of acting which grips the spectator's heart by, the Ribbons, Lingerie touches, the styles and quality.

His work in that feature appealed to Irving Les- Ser as especially fitting him for the title role in "Peck's Bad Boy," and after making arrangements with Warner Brothers, the continuity was prepared especially for Jackie and the picture produced. Oritics in New York, where "Peck's Bad Boy! was recently given its initial presenta- tion, have described the production as-an epic of boyhood days. _ The ploture is released by Associated First National. In producing "Peck's Bad Boy" Mr, Lesser took every step possible to enhance the quality of the film. The supporting cast given Jackie Coogan is exceptionally strong, and the direction and sett- ings have been highly commended. After the actual filming was com- pleted Mr, Lesser procured the ser- vices of Irvin 8. Cobb, the well known Rumorst, to write the sub- titles, and' the complete result has been accepted by the New York newspaper critics as one of the best comedies that has reached the screen in years. Among those who will be seen in the cast with Jackie are Doris May, Wheeler Oakman, James Corrigan, Lillian Leighton, Raymond Hatton, Charles Hatton and Baby Gloria Wood, On the same program- me will be shown Buster Keaton, the screen's funniest comedian in Blacksmith" his latest comedy, incidentally his best. or i s © w 'At The Strand.
