Among ' the presr nviews of "The Garden of Allah" li the following: The Lli Angeles Tribune says: " 'The Garden of Allah' is a corking good picture. The story Is told with a wealth of detail and a loveliness of setting that does full justices to Mr. Hichens' word painting. I cannot recall re-call a photoplay which has shown anything as beautiful as the desert scenes In this picture. They are brought into the story in a manner that they do not seem dragged on merely for the sake of scenic effect and one never grows tired looking at them. And it is not from a scenic standpoint alone that the picture is notable. It is presented by a competent com-petent cast and it often attains the height of very real drama. The suspense sus-pense is admirably sustained, the characters are splendidly portrayed and the story holds one as it never did in the stage version." |
