The Queen of Sheba Ratings & Reviews
Motion Picture Magazine
Adele Whitley Fletcher
Undoubtedly a fortune, many fortunes, have been expended in the making of this production, but it has all been for some purpose. It has given the cinema Court of Solomon a glory commensurate with that which has been sung of it down thru the ages.
New York Post
Perceval F. Reniers
At all costs, almost literally, a spectacle has been made. It has all the prerequisites of such pageantry, and most of them are splendidly and lavishly executed, often with breathtaking enormity of design.
New York Daily News
Mabel McElliott
[It] presents a swiftly moving, gracefully welded story. I can think of several places where it might have been ended with much more telling effect than with the rather dragged out finale it now boasts. But the illusion is, for the most part, complete.
San Francisco Examiner
Buford Gordon Bennett
Such camera work made me forget I was in the [theater] viewing a photo play; it made me almost forget the theme of the production, as I allowed myself only to think of what a latitude the camera has.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
It contains love scenes that have been rarely paralleled in pictures. It reaches some beautiful highlands of art in the visualizing of a remote era in civilization, with its color and pageantry, and pillared magnificence of settings.
Photoplay
Shadow Stage
The principal moral lesson is that Los Angeles is a great place to run a lumberyard, a dry-goods store, a paint-house, a carpenter-shop and a decorating business, to say nothing of an agency for extras.
Baltimore Sun
T.M. Cushing
The Queen of Sheba despite its voluminous subtitles and occasional crudities, is a spectacular par excellence, for beside the chariot race there are several minor events to thrill and most of. the scenes furnish a real feast for the eye.
Boston Globe
Globe Staff
Although [Blythe] wears about as few clothes as the censor will allow, she is lovely enough to keep the role from becoming at all gross or sensual.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Inquirer Staff
A picture that will attract even those to whom motion pictures generally make no appeal.
Hartford Courant
Courant Staff
Founded on the Biblical story of Solomon and the beautiful Sheban queen, the play depicts many of the incidents of the Biblical tale and surrounds them with a vivid romance that makes the story worthy of the elaborate production it has been given.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Post-Dispatch Staff
It is a picture of fine scenic investiture and impressive groupings as settings for Miss Blythe's opulent beauty.
LIFE
Robert E. Sherwood
There are more people, more mules, more horses, more camels, more spears, more palaces and fewer clothes than in any previous spectacle... In spite of which, The Queen of Sheba has a considerable amount of real dramatic merit.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinée
The picture as it stands is a beautiful and impressive spectacle. A few earnest students of bibliology, however, without doubt will gaze upon the film in amazement and consternation.
The Film Daily
Wid Gunning
Never before in the history of the screen has such a thrill as that of the women chariot racers been accomplished. It is the big moment in The Queen of Sheba and of itself worth going to see.
Motion Picture News
Laurence Reid
It is a spectacle which appeals to the eye. The bizarre costuming, the massiveness of the sets, the physical allurement of its feminine figures, the romance and chariot race -- these spell an entertainment the power of which cannot be denied.
New York Times
NYT Staff
The picture is another effort to win by astonishment. Everything that could be thought of by J. Gordon Edwards, the director, and others that would amaze, startle and shock those eager or able to be shocked seems to have been crowded into it.
Variety
Variety Staff
The tale has been put together nicely with the continuity consistent and of enough strength to hold, though there are occasional lapses where the necessity of carrying the story on come to light.
Cine-Mundial
Eduardo Guaitsel
This film will be a success throughout the word. But success will be due to the dazzling presentation and not historical fidelity. [Full review in Spanish]
New York Tribune
Harriette Underhill
A gorgeous, stunning and thrilling production.
