Mildred Spain New York Daily News Peggy is at her best in Captain January, a warm-hearted, unassuming picture that was directed with real feeling. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review New York Post Staff New York Post Naturally the children will want to see [Baby Peggy's new film] this week, and we wouldn't be a bit surprised if the parents secretly rejoice at the opportunity thus provided tor them to see Captain January themselves. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Sidne Silverman Variety Both a sweet and weak feature, containing a minimum of entertainment while revealing nothing beyond the "cute" and "adorable" mannerisms of the child star, Baby Peggy, and a legitimate performance by Hobart Bosworth. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Martin Dickstein Brooklyn Daily Eagle It has deft touches of unforced humor and pathos which do not slop over into sentimentality, reflecting credit on author, director and star alike. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review George T. Pardy Exhibitor's Trade Review Baby Peggy is called upon to do some pretty strenuous emotional acting, and proves just as equal to the demand as she has heretofore been in straight comedy. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Robert E. Sherwood LIFE I have always gone well out of my way to dodge Baby Peggy's pictures. Not that I have any particular grudge against this "little wonder lady of the cinema"... But the films in which she appears are always terrible. [Captain January] is no exception.
