...Sawyer (Paramount). The Tom Sawyer of the printed page remains more real than any figure of flesh & blood concocted in his image, and for this reason there are people who will cavil at Paramount's cinema of him, or go with misgivings into a theatre to see him played, afraid that lies will be told about someone they know. Yet no lies are told in this picture. You can accept Jackie Coogan, you can accept the treatment which does all for the story that any cinema could do in the limits of program time-present its surface, the long...

But judging from the picture, which is hilariously funny, none of these authorities had much to do with it. Only Saps Work has been composed, acted and directed strictly "from the cuff" -the sort of picture in which cast, cameramen and executives on location go into a conference after each sequence...
...strapping young Chicago reporter stepped into a cinema theatre. It was perhaps the third time in his life he had "gone to the movies." What he saw-D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation-made his eyes pop, his heart thump. An industry doing things like that, he decided, was the place for him.
