User Reviews

Robert Edeson will delight audiences

This is an excellent five-reel number of the Mutual Masterpieces. In it Robert Edeson plays the role of the "Sky Pilot." He is supported by Rhea Mitchell in the feminine lead, Hershal Mayhall as "Handsome Jack" Malone and William S. Hart as "Texas." The scenario was made by Thomas H. Ince and C.G. Sullivan, and the production was directed by Thomas H. Ince. The New York Motion Picture Corporation (Kessell and Baumann) present the production, of which they may be justly proud. The type chosen for the role ot "Texas" is not exactly satisfactory. A more red-blooded, devil-may-care type might have made a stronger impression. Robert Edeson will delight audiences, especially where he wipes up the floor of the dance hall with "Texas" and his associates. - The Moving Picture World, April 3, 1915
