a repeat viewing after 79 years, 24 June 2003
8/10
Author: Fay Greene (docperry@adelphia.net) from Carlsbad CA

I first viewed this movie in 1924 at age 6 yrs--probably the first movie I ever saw. I thought it was terrific then, and after viewing it again now(2003) I still think it is an exceptionally fine movie. Many special effects without benefit of computers. A very ambitious movie for that time.
