The Man in the Street (1914) User Reviews

The idea is quite familiar

[deickemeyer · 27 October 2018]

A three-reel number taken from a novel by Mary Imlay Taylor. It has for its theme the theft of a play from a starving man, and is very much like a two reel number entitled "The Sword of Damocles," put out by the Pathe company, as we recall it. The story is a gripping one and well-pictured and nicely handled. Marc McDermott is strong as the real playwright and Duncan McRae and Gertrude McCoy play the remaining leads. Except for the fact that the idea is quite familiar to many observers this is an offering of unusual strength. - The Moving Picture World, July 11, 1914
