Robert E. Sherwood LIFE There are other excellent performances in the picture, and Frank Urson's direction is, for the most part, admirable. Oct 4, 2021 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It's actually a fairly unique mixture of comedy and drama, which -- aside from specialty items like Charlie Chaplin's The Kid -- was little seen at the time.

Teddy B Some excellent performances are featured, and the story remains entertaining, but the musical version still stands as a better version of this story. The pacing feels off and the film just doesn't feel complete when it isn't a musical. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Audience Member believed to have been lost but recently discovered! This movie has awesome performances by Phyllis Haver and the supporting cast! Even though its a silent movie you actually feel the performances! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
