PHOTOPLAY
May, 1927
A fair little comedy for those who are not too fussy. The Stack family decide to make their fortune in California. So in a little tin-can of the year 1900 A.D., they move merrily along from coast to coast. Of course, tehre are many break-downs, but a handsome knight of the road always appears at the proper time and lends his assistance. By the time they reach California, a nice little romance has developed, and it's the end of the picture.

PICTURE PLAY
June, 1927
"Rubber Tires" is certainly no misnomer. The picture
is as dull as the title, though it has a good cast and somewhere
there was a novel idea. But it seems to have been painstakingly
deflated, until nothing remains but the sight of familiar faces
in interminable footage. The proceedings begin with the Stack
family - Pa, Ma, the freckled Charley, and Mary Ellen, the flower
of the family, because she, at least, sprouts an idea. It is that
they sell their furniture, buy an automobile, and cross the continent
to California in search of Lady Luck. This is done in an antiquated
car, and they become just another group of drab tourists. While
all this is taking place, the manufacturer of the car offers ten
thousand dollars for its return, because it is the first model
put out by the company. Ignorant of its new value, Mary Ellen
exchanges it en route for another car, and the rest of the picture
is given over to its recovery. Harrison Ford, Bessie Love, May
Robson, and Junior Coghlan are featured.
