      Critical Review of the Year

      By Lawrence Reid

      When the year, 1925, comes to a close, no filmgoer can

say that he has not been royally entertained. It has been

a year marked by a sincere effort to record the realities and

humanities of life – with producers and directors

vicing with one another to present the ,greatest picture ever

made.‘ Those who have made screen history in the

past have been compelled to pay the penalty of producing

something extraordinary to cope with the earlier

achievement. We have come to expect great things from,

Griffith, Ingram, Fairbanks, Chaplin, Frank Lloyd,

Harold Lloyd, Ernst Lubitsch, Cruze, Olcott and a few

others.“ (...)

      „In the new deal among the directors we find the names

of Murnau, The German, Seastrom and Svend Gade,

the Scandinavians, Julian, Browning, Vidor, Robertson, Hoyt,

Lubitsch and Henry King. Griffith still continues to scale

the heights, though his place isn‘t as secure as it was a few years

ago. Stroheim has finally found himself and can march

boldly with the little army of creators. Chaplin‘s star has not lost

any of its lustre. He is always experimenting, and

if he falters temporarily the public is always confident, that

his intelligence will carry him back to high estate.“ (...)

      „Comedians Set the Pace“ (...)

      „Chaplin was expected to scale the heights again

with The Gold Rush. In the main it lacks imagination, though

it is destined to be popular. The trouble here is we

expected greater things from the man who gave us A Woman

of Paris.“ (...)
