The Critic

Biograph summary: This film has been aptly termed a "Continuous" Chuckle. It is a satire on "continuous vaudeville" and the newspaper critics. Dalan Ale, the celebrated scribe, views a particularly bad show. This is the first scene of the production. He then, in the second scene, goes to his office and writes a scathing criticism, which criticism is shown in the film. The following scene shows the vaudeville actors reading the criticism, and the final scene shows them calling on Dalan Ale in his office and presenting their compliments. The film is one that will be received with roars of laughter, for it appeals with peculiar force to the regular vaudeville patron. The photography of the production is splendid throughout.
