I real genius in direction
of “MERRY-GO-ROUND.”
■ f Robert E. Sherwood, whose bril-
hat pen has won him hosts of
readers throughout the United
States, after reviewing the world’s
premier of "Merry'-Go-Round” at
the magnificent photoplay pallace
The Rivoli, in New York City
wrote:
'Metfyy-Go-Round' is one of the
finest pictures that' has ever been
shown at this beautiful theater. In
its essence the Viennese atmo
sphere is marvelously reproduced
t'.nd its flavor is distinctly conti
nental. «
“The story revolves about ft
W | in a Viennese
Park—the same sort of carrousel
that Lilliom barked for in Monar’s
play. The characters are mostly
workers in the various conces
sions in the park’; a vflliainous
fellow who operates the merry-go
round, a picturesqque sideshow
clown, his beautiful, pathetic
daughter and her lover, a hunch
back who is entrusted with the
care of the menagerie ape.
“Into this scene stalks a staff
officer of Franz Joseph's court, a
swaggering , unscrupulous fellow
with waxed mustachois and a re
| gretably unmoral code of ethics.
He covets the clown’s daughter
and subjects her to the usual ad
vances. Although his base match
jnations prove sucqessftul,
K her purity serves to bring his bet-
■ '->r nature to life and he fall*
honestly in love. Although he is
slightly handicapped by the pres
ence of a wife who has been sad
dled upon him at the Emperor’s
■ request, he presses his courtahin
with the humble girl and then,
when the great war has cleared
away the mists of misunderstand
ing he marries her.
■ “This rather unimportant story
i has been developed in a remark
| ably imaginative manner, provid-
B ing that in spite of 111 that, the
H Author’s League may have to say
Hthc plot of the picture is insigri’-
jfjcant. as compared with the treat
rnent.
I Mary Philbin and George
Sgta'-kathorne are both excellent.
H’we Gravina does a memorable
of character work as the side
» pbpw clown.. Dale Fuller is ,as
® \jsua l . thoroimhlv competent. Nor
ft man’s habitual stiffness is an as
*- pot rrdher than a defect in this pm
| t'V-v. he appears as an Austrian ol
fl’pcv j f t *
B “Metro - Go - Rround deserves
verv high rating in every respect.
