john p A bit slow, despite being short, but has some very emotionally engaging scenes Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Terry S Worth watching to experience the beauty and natural talent of emerging star Loretta Young.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member How can you go wrong with a Lon Chaney circus picture? Lon plays a kind hearted circus clown who adopts an abandoned child. The film then picks up years later and the child has now grown into a young woman. Things get complicated (and a tad creepy to modern eyes) when the young woman, played by a 15-year-old Loretta Young, falls in love with a rich man and Lon wants to tell her that he loves her, but doesn't want to complicate her love of the rich man by making her feel obligated to stay with him. Chaney is great playing tragic figures and is wonderful here. And I've never been a huge fan of Loretta Young, but even at 15, she definitely exhibits star quality. Overall, this one isn't a classic, but it's a solid and entertaining melodrama that I can honestly say I didn't know how it would end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a real tearjerker. Based on the Pagliacci tale of a clown who is broken hearted that the object of his affection refuses his romantic overtures Lon Chaney delivers a performance that emotes without words. An amazing performance that turns a run of the mill movie into a real gem. Highly recomended.
