NYT Staff New York Times Our Leading Citizen is enjoyable, but one imagines if Mr. Ade had been permitted to write a two-reel instead of a five-reel scenario it would have been more so. Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Robert E. Sherwood LIFE I sincerely trust that Messrs. Ade and Meighan will continue to collaborate. In spite of the fact that most movies are produced in this country, there are all too few genuine American pictures. Oct 7, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
