THE critics of the New York dailies
are quoted with reference to Rich
ard Walton Tully's screen drama,
''Trilby." as follows:
The Times, in part: "This photoplay
is wonderfully good. Mr. Tully is
man who is eager to give the public
sensible and wholesome pictures. 1t
is far ahead of most productions pre-
sented on Broadway"
The Tribune: Lafayette delights
us. She is fascinating, beautifully
unusual and clever, and has a mag
netic personality"
The News: You'll enjoy it enough
to see it again"
The World: "Trilby is one of those
hlms we wouldn't want to say We had
missed"
The American: "Tully is to be con-
graduated upon the execution of the
production-an unusual presentation"
The Mail: 1T is moving picture
