...Unholy Three (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). When released as a silent picture in 1923, this film had a quality of strained and macabre horror which was largely dependent on the fact that none of the participants in its gruesome goings-on was able to make himself heard. No voice, it was well understood, could be so wheedling as the voice which one imagined would be used by Mrs. O'Grady, the keeper of a petshop, who was really a man and the leader of a band of thieves. Her grandson, whom customers observed cuddled up in a perambulator, was really...
...used together. A great boon should "Music Writer" be to the cinema industry. Heretofore composition for synchronized cinema has been a labor of weeks. With "Music Writer," two or three pianists may view a cinema in projection; each record silently (the device is demountable) his improvised score for a film, transpose it to paper in a few hours.

Distributors are J. O. Fisher Co Manhattan...

...Romantic Night (United Artists). This is Ferenc Molnar's The Swan, revised and softened, its crinkling wit ironed into conventional film dialog, its satire modified to focus attention on the romantic elements. Playwright Molnar was making deft fun of royalty in The Swan; in One Romantic Night Director Paul Stein is using royalty in its familiar stage function, as atmosphere. The result is only fair in spite of Lillian Gish's skill in making real the wistful, adolescent princess who loves a tutor and marries a prince. The trouble is that perhaps she never loved the tutor; such...
Lest certain citizens be somewhat startled at the information that the University Film Foundation has completed a moving picture of Massachusetts, it might be well to explain that this is a figure of speech only, and that the foundations of the state are apparently as sound as ever. But neither need this be a source of disappointment to the more sensational minded, for even if the stern New England rocks do not achieve positive animation, the film is of sufficient interest to warrant considerable attention...
