IN WOLF'S CLOTHING (Kalem) July 20 - Alice Joyce two-part picture that, in spite of its rather artificial situation creates marked suspense. It accomplishes this by the boldness of its artifice. Like a swiftly moving cloud, it has, with no substance at all, a quality that carries away one watching it. The photography in this print is not quite up to Kalem quality, but is fair. A good offering. W. E. Wing is the author.

REARDON AUTHOR OF "IN WOLF'S CLOTHING."

The Moving Picture World's reviewer of films was in error in giving credit to W. E. Wing for the recent Kalem picture. "In Wolf's Clothing." The author of this lively effective and entertaining offering is Mark S. Reardon.

The 1916 and 1917 Motion Picture Studio Directories and Trade Annual also list Mark S. Reardon as the screenwriter. -- Bruce

"In Wolf's Clothing" (Kalem, Two Reels. Mon., July 20.) - This is the fourth feature of the Alice Joyes (sic) Series. The plot of the story is weak and improbable, and the task of the actors is indeed difficult to make the characters seem convincing. The acting of Alice Joyes (sic), and her supporters, Tom Moore, Robert Walker, Harry  Hallam and Helen Lindroth overcomes, however, these deficiencies to a certain extent.

with Alice Joyce and Tom Moore. Directed by Robert Vignola. Kalem.
