What Eastern Critics
Say About
The Fire Patrol
Chicago Tribune
August 9, 1924
I think you will agree with me that the Fire
Patrol ranks above the average program film.
N. Y. Eagle
August 18, 1924
For thrills and melodramatic surprises “The
Fire Patrol” is more satisfying than “The Signal
Tower.”
N. Y. American
July 31, 1924
Any newspaper could get a full weeks run on
disasters by writing on “The Fire Patrol.” Those
who complain of dull movies and lack of action,
have never seen The Fire Patrol.
Motion Picture News
May 31, 1924
Here is a vigorous well told photo play
of the briny deep and sailor folk. It carries tense
action, a large quota of thrills, a fine vein of sus
pense, and is acted convincingly.
The above quotations speak for themselves.
It is useless for us to add any comment as the quo
tation from the Motion Picture News sums up
every thing we could say.
