Globe Staff Boston Globe A thrilling and spectacular appeal for American preparedness against war is contained in the stupendous film production, The Battle Cry of Peace. Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Wapo Staff Washington Post [The Battle Cry of Peace,] aside from its spectacular features and its entertainment qualities, is undisguised propaganda for a vastly bigger navy and a greatly augmented mobile army. Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Fred Schader Variety The picturing of the bombardment of the city has been worked out in a manner which will win universal admiration, and the fleets and forts in action adds much to the stirring value. Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Heywood Broun New York Tribune There are thrills by the yard, horrors slowly Is drawn out inch by inch and not few feet of good comedy. The achievements of the camera are remarkable. Sep 28, 2020 Full Review James Warren Currie Chicago Examiner The Battle Cry of Peace does not make for moderation. It causes the blood to pound through the veins, driven by a heart aroused over the prophetic picture of a vital menace of the future. Sep 28, 2020 Full Review W. R. Andrews Motion Picture News The picture is destined to perform an inestimable service for the country by arousing the people to a proper realization of the true condition of the nation's defenses -- or, rather, lack of defenses.
