Hackneyed development
deickemeyer21 January 2020
This is a four-reel number of the Masterpicture program. The first two reels of the production give fine promise, and it is keenly disappointing to find that a hackneyed development of what started out to be a good story, has been resorted to in dragging it into a four-reel production. John Emerson is featured in the picture, doing excellent work, with some opportunity. Supporting him is an exceptionally fine cast among whom are Wahneta Hanson, S.D. Sears, Olga Gray, and Augustus Carney. The production is based on a quarrel of morals and responsibilities between a young newspaper reporter, and a theatrical manager. The reporter afterwards writes a play which the manager steals. In his attempt to expose the manager the reporter is made the victim of a frame-up. Here it is that old ideas commence to throng into the development, with the result already mentioned. - The Moving Picture World, June 5, 1915
