STATI UNITI

THE STREET OF FORGOTTEN MEN

THE AMERICAN VENUS

Anonimo, Gleanings of the screen, "New York Times", October 4, 1925

"In the cast ... Louise Brooks of the Ziegfeld Follies, and Fay Lanphier who won the title of Miss America at the recent  Atlantic City beauty pageant"

"the cast includes ... Louise Brooks and others of note"

"Louise Brooks, the beauteous dancer from the Ziegfeld Follies, and W.T Benda, the internationally known artist, are also prominent in the picture"

"Consider Louise Brooks. Here is a Ziegfeld Follies girl who brings to the screen a rare type of beauty and a warm personality"

"... and Fay Lanphier becomes 'Miss America'. This modern de Milo is a pleasant girl who is pretty but doesn't act that way. A recruit from the musical comedy stage, Louise Brooks, who plays a runner-up, is pert, pretty and promising"

"Outside of one or two amusing scenes devised by the director - in which Ford Sterling, Louise Brooks, Edna May Oliver and Lawrence Gray assist ably - the main novelty of The American Venus is the sequence in color"

"a charming comedy with some scenes in technicolor which delight the eye. Louise Brooks plays Miss Bayport, and she furnishes a great deal of perfectly legitimate comedy by inadvertantly being caught in the apartment of Hugo Niles and his wife, who arrives unexpectedly"

"It presents a raw and effortful desire to photograph scantily attired women without any sensible or appreciable tendency to tell a reasonably alive or plausible story. Any nervous high school boy might have done the plot and there isn't a director in captivity who could not have told the cameraman when and where and how to shoot ...  I do believe that Louise Brooks, who appears as Miss Bayport, is better looking than any of the other brunettes now acting in films"

"A newcomer in Louise Brooks makes her screen debut. Louise plays a hard-hearted gold-digger type realistically"

"It's good entertainment, and the bevy of bathing beauties includes Louise Brooks, who has a distinct screen personality"

"One of the most widely known and eagerly awaited screen productions. ... Others in the cast include Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Louise Brooks, Edna May Oliver and many more favorites"

"... and Louise Brooks, the latter a black-haired boyish-bobbed entry who cuts quite a figure in the parade"

"Louise Brooks, a diminutive brunette charmer"

"With the aid of novel and trick camera stunts, the age old fashion parade is changed into something that even the male eye will linger on. ... Othwers in the cast who did exceptionally fine work include Edna May Oliver, Kenbneth MacKenna, Louise Brooks, William B. Mack and Fay Lanphier"

"Louise Brooks, the former Follies chorine, makes her film debut in the production and does well in a small role. This Miss Brooks just now is the patron saint of all chorus girls seeking admittance into the sacred ranks of screen players"

"The most notable scenes are the fashion show and tableaux, which are filmed in color. Included in the cast are William B. Mack, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Ernest Torrence ... and Louise Brooks"

"Then, as though that were not beauty enough for one picture, the director offers also Miss Louise Brooks, and many 'shots' taken at Atlantic City"

"The tricks of the magician, who produces an amazing array of gowns worn by picked mannequins, employs the motion picture technique at what it can do most skillfully. Esther Ralston and Fay Lanphier are the feminine talent, also Edna Oliver and Louise Brooks"

"Louise Brooks, the beauteous dancer from the Ziegfeld Follies, and W. T. Benda, the internationally known artist, are also prominent in the picture"

"The women's side of this spectacular story by Townsend Martin is acted by Esther Ralston, the fetching blonde screen star; Louise Brooks, a diminutive brunette charmer from Ziegfeld's Follies; and Fay Lanphier, who was designated the most beautiful girl in America at the Atlantic City bathing beauty contest and was awarded the title of 'Miss America'"

"Louise Brooks, a diminutive charmer from Ziegfeld's Follies"

"Louise Brooks, a diminutive brunette charmer from Ziegfeld's Follies" 

"The cast includes Louise Brooks"

"Louise Brooks, a diminutive brunette charmer from Ziegfeld Follies"

L. M. W., Stage and screen, "Ann Arbor Times News", April 5, 1926

"Louise Brooks has the feminine lead and gives a creditable performance"

"Louise Brooks, the beauteous dancer from the Ziegfeld Follies, and W. T. Benda, the internationally known artist, are also prominent in the picture"

A SOCIAL CELEBRITY

"A newcomer also provides color to A Social Celebrity. She is Louise Brooks, who flashed a moment of inspiration in The American Venus"

"Louise Brooks, who plays the small town sweetheart who want to make a peacock out of her razorbill, is a delightful young person with a lovely, direct gaze, an engaging seriousness, and a sudden, flashing smile that is disarming and winsome. A slim and lissome child, with personality and talent"

"Louise Brooks is Kitty, the girl who sets the pace in leaving the small town to dance in a New York night club"

"Menjou is excellent in his role with Louise Brooks, a Broadway dancing star, appearing as Kitty, and Elsie Lawson, another Manhattan dancer, as April"

 "In the supporting cast are Louise Brooks and Chester Conklin, both of whom are featured"

 "Besides Menjou's capital performance, various rosettes and medals should go to Josephine Drake, Louise Brooks, Chester Conklin and Elsie Lawson ... Louise Brooks, provocative, alluring, would have been enhanced by better lighting or darker make-up, but that will doubtless come in another picture. She is, Heaven knows, potent enough as it is"

"There is, further, an attractive young lady named Louise Brooks, late of the Follies, dark, cute and accomplished at the Charleston"

 "It is no doubt the least exciting and the least imaginative of any of the recent Menjou plays, and even so it does sparkle. This is so because of St. Clair, Menjou, Miss Brooks and that heavy footed, sad-eyed daddy of a great many horrible comedies, Chester Conklin"

"the beauteous Louise Brooks poses exquisitely and acts atrociously"

"We like Louise Brooks, but not as a heroine. She should be always a lady who lures"

"Louise Brooks, an attractive young woman who made her screen debut in The American Venus some months ago, puts in some good work as the Charleston stepper"

"Louise Brooks, who left Mr. Ziegfield's 'Follies' for a career on the shadow stage, has her first important role opposite him and does admirably. She is a captivating little brunette with the figure of a Venus"

"Miss Brooks is a vivid young miss, more at home in a jazzy role than a sweetly innocent one"

"Louise Brooks would have been ample excuse for making any picture. Here is a young actress who has fresh young beauty reinforced by one of the most expressive faces I have ever seen on the screen"

 "It is about 85 per cent top grade entertainment and consequently much better than the average ... Louise Brooks is an unusually attractive girl who stirs the hero to ambition by leaving the same small town to do the inevitable Charleston in a Broadway night club"

" ... the saucy Louise Brooks"

"The cast is uniformly excellent, but the players certain to leave an imprint are winsome Louise Brooks, who wears her clothes with a flaunt that no feminine member of the audience is apt to forget"

"Miss Louise Brooks is a pretty newcomer but not an acting newcomer"

"Louise Brooks a cutey and with a quantity of good looks. She isn't exactly the heroine type though. She would make a far better baby vamp"

"Louise Brooks, a little dancer of Ziegfeld fame, is seen as the manicurist loved by the barber"

"Louise Brooks, the capricious heroine of the story, has the straightest and shortest eyebrows of any screen actress. When she arches them they curve the reverse way, and they give her a personality which clings to one's memory. She does a great deal of thinking during her scenes in this picture, and most of the time she appears really to be thinking of what is going on in the story"

"Miss Louise Brooks, a new leading lady, also does excellently"

"A very excellent supporting cast includes, besides Chester Conklin, Louise Brooks and Elisie Lawson in important roles"

"Louise Brooks, who plays the small town girl who coaxes Menjou to emulate her example and try luck in New York is a comer and awfully good to look upon. Her straight-cut bob, black eyes and not too sweetly pretty face are different, and she displays some acting ability"

"Louise Brooks as the girl in the case is very attractive and dances the Charlestown almost as well as Bessie Love, althought more vigorously, yet she does little acting"

"Louise Brooks gives a thoughtful interpretation to her part of the capricious Kitty"

"In this instance the manicure is no less provocative a morsel than Miss Louise Brooks, remembered for her bit in that specious puff-pastry, The American Venus. Miss Brooks has anything but a rewarding task in A social celebrity. Yet it would be ungracious not to comment on the fetching qualities of her screen presence. She affects a straight-line bang across the forhead with distressingly piquant cow-licks over either ear. Her eyes are quick, dark, lustrous. Her nose and mouth share a suspicion of gaminerie. Her gestures are deft and alert - perhaps still a shade self-conscious. In body she is more supple than facial play and her genuflectory exertions in the Charleston might well repay the careful study of amateurs in that delicate exercise"

"Louise Brooks, who achieved something of a reputation in The American Venus ..."

"Probably the most pathetic thing about A social celebrity is the casting opposite Menjou of Louise Brooks, a recent 'find'. She is absolutely negative so far as acting goes, lacks artistry and ingratiation, and so far as expression is concerned is a positive blank"

"Louise Brooks, who caused such a ripple of interest in her small role in The American Venus, is a flop as Kitty. One reason is that her makeup gives her a hard look that is neither becoming nor liked"

"He has to help him in this venture an exceedingly personable and promising newcomer called Louise Brooks"

"The supporting cast includes Louise Brooks and Chester Conklin in roles almost as fascinating as the role played by the dapper star"

"Louise Brooks, who plays opposite Adolphe Menjou, gives her role vigor and strength of character"

"It introduces to the movie public a new heroine in the person of the sleek and boyish Louise Brooks. A little young, perhaps, but bouyant and of most engaging smile. There is no opportunity to learn whether or not she can act, but in her role of chorus girl she reveals the most beautiful pair of legs in the movies - which is a rather broad statement and a comment which would have been in very poor taste in crinoline days"

"Louise Brooks, possessing one of the most striking and expressive faces ever to come to the screen, plays the heroine in a saucily successful manner"

"Louise Brooks is the nifty stepper who forsook the orangewood stick and the bowl of soapy water and then made up her mind that life with the village barber meant more to her than luxurious clothes and the applause of hip flaskers in the big city"

"The same for Louise Brooks. You find it hard to imagine this lovely bit of decoration as a domestic creature willing to retire from night life and a patron for the comforts of a four corner community"

"Menjou is supported by a cast of unusual merit, including Chester Conklyn, Louise Brooks, Elsie Lawson and others"

"Adolphe Menjou is, of course, excellent, and his leading lady, Louise Brooks, indulges in some eye-and eyebrow-play which is not at all difficult to watch. Miss Brooks looks to me like a safe bet"

"Louise Brooks, also endowed with a prominent part in the Menjou picture, was a featured dancer in Ziegfeld's production of Louie, the 14th, and she joined the picture game to play the part of 'Miss Bayport'
in Paramount's production of The American Venus"

"Louise Brooks, who suddenly sprang into fame through her dancing in the stage production of Louie the 14th, and who was awarded a role in The American Venus, has the second feature role. Miss Brooks is the little manicurist with whom Menjou is in love, but who later becomes a musical comedy star"

"Louise Brooks and Chester Conklin are seen to advantage in featured roles"

"Louise Brooks, practically a newcomer to the sxcreen, and Chester Conklin, play the leading roles in support of Menjou"

"In the cast with Menjou are Louise Brooks, Elsie Lawson, Chester Conklin and others. Their work, without exception, is good and gives excellent support to the splendid acting by the star"

"... Kitty Laverne, expertly played by Louise Brooks"

"Louise Brooks, of the Ziegfeld's Follies and Louie the Fourteenth, has the role opposite Menjou. She is credited with having made a leap from the chorus to stardom in this one picture. She is one of the 'finds' of
the season"

"Louise Brooks, who quits her position in the shop, dashing off to broader fields of endeavor in New York, where she becomes a cabaret dancer, has the feminine lead, contributing liberally to the value of the picture in spite of the meager possibilities of the role"

"Louise Brooks is rather cute as the girl"

"Chester Conklin and Louise Brooks appear in the featured roles"

"A familiar story, true, but Menjou's capable acting and that of Louise Brooks as Kitty make it pleasantly new"

"Louise Brooks, a recent screen find and one who bids fair to rise rapidly in the ranks of popular stars, plays opposite Mr. Menjou and handles the role of the small town sweetheart who becomes a chorus girl with more than the usual ability shown by the beginner"

"The girl is played by Louise Brooks, whom we remember as looking more attractive than either Esther Ralston or Fay Lanphier in The American Venus"

"Kitty [Louise Brooks] was the manicurist"

"Louise Brooks, the girl who created favorable comment as the Miss Bayport in The American Venus, has the role of the leading woman"

"The provocative Louise Brooks enters into the scheme of things too. She has screen personality. Her expressions have an impish playfullness. She has a manner of teasing you to join her, while at the same time she warns you to keep your distance"

IT'S THE OLD ARMY GAME

"Louise Brooks, a little lady who promises to create nothing short of a sensation because of her portrayal as the girl Fields would like to marry, gives a mighty fine performance"

"Louise Brooks is cast in the leading feminine role as the girl Fields would like to marry"

"There was considerable good acting on the part of the star, who was ably supported by Louise Brooks and William Gaxton"

"Louise Brooks is featured"

"Louise Brooks is featured

"Louise Brooks is the leading lady in It's the old Army game"

"Of course Louise Brooks is in The old Army game just to add spice to the picture: she is certainly good to look at"

Anonimo, Hilarious comedy is featured at Strand, "Modesto News-Herald", June 1, 1926

"Then there is the piquant pert little Louise Brooks featured along with Mr. Fields. She contributes a performance second only to that given by the star"

"Louise Brooks is evidently very proud of her comely figure. This is the third picture in which she has worn that black bathing suit. However, Louise is a clever little actress"

"In the meantime the young fellow from the big town has fallen in love with the lovely creature that serves as the store's only clerk, who is none other than the captivating Louise Brooks"

"W. C. Fields is very amusing, and Louise Brooks, featured with Mr. Fields, gives a dandy performance"

"W. C. Fields is fully three-fourths of the show and Louise Brooks, who is rather new to screen stardom, comes near being the remaining fourth"

"Then there is piquant, pert little Louise Brooks, featured along with Mr. Fields. She contributes a performance second only to that given by the star"

"A new actress has broken into pictures in the name of Louise Brooks, she shines like a gem in the rough"

"Louise Brooks, a recent Paramount find, is not a bit hard to look at, and should be heard from"

"Mr. Fields' assistants in It's the Old Army Game are entirely unimportant. Louise Brooks' dark and beautiful features are purely pictorial and there is a half-hearted but unfinished attempt at a love affair""

"Louise Brooks is his [W.C. Fields] leading woman"

"A whirlwind courtship runs through the story between Parker and Marilyn (Louise Brooks), but this has only a small part in the picture"

"Louise Brooks is present, wears a bathing suit, and smiles sweetly throughout"

"Louise Brooks played in Ziegfeld's Follies when Fields was running wild with Ray Dooley, et all. In this picture she has the feminine lead, and she surely confirms all promises of being the movie 'find' of the season"

"Fields scored a splendid triumph in this picture. A great part of the success of the offering, however, is due to Louise Brooks, who takes the lead feminine part"

"Louise Brooks and William Gaxton carry what is generaly known as the necessary love interest. Gaxton amounts to nothing, but Miss Brooks parades the personal magnetism to the limit, and late in the story is found wandering around in a bathing suit - for no sound reason except to display a form which assuredly needs not bathing suit to set it off. There is no complaint, however, on the appearance in the bathing suit"

"Upon this frail framework Fields erects a pyramid of laughs with his droll humor and naive antics. it also furnishes the opportunity for Louise Brooks to offer a sparkling performance as the clerk"

"Louise Brooks, the Ziegfeld girl with the million dollar legs"

"Next to Fields, the chief attration of It's the old Army game is Louise Brooks, one of the most promising finds of the season. All that she has to do to make a hit is wear a bathing suit, which she does in this picture"

"But before that, consider also that Louise Brooks, once in a one-piece bathing suit, is the most pleasing sight we have beheld since we saw our barber cut his own chin"

"Louise Brooks, fulfilling some of the promises she made in her first jump into the picture game, is a clerk in her store"

"Louise Brooks, exceedingly easy to look at, flits off and on the screen"

"Assisting Fields in his fun-making is a fine assortment of talent, including one Ford, and such theatrical celebrities as Louise Brooks, Blanche Ring and Rose Elliott"

"Louise Brooks, Blanche Ring and Rose Elliot are the featured players. Each contributes a very good bit of acting"

"Louise Brooks is the other important person in the picture and, as insinuated rather bluntly on the occasion of her first appearance - in The American Venus - she's important. Miss Brooks isn't like anybody else. Nor has she a distinguishing characteristic which may be singled out for purposes of identification. She's just a very definite personality. She doesn't do much, perhaps becuase there isn't much to do but probably because she hits hardest when doing nothing, but nobody looks away when she's on screen. If Miss Glyn should say that Miss Brooks has 'it,' more people would know what Miss Glyn is raving about. But in that case she would not be raving"

"The drug store's counter attraction' is Louise Brooks, that attractive brunette. What Miss Brooks does in It's the Old Army Game to live up to all the ballywhooing which these columns have been carrying on in her behalf is practically nothing. That this Paramount party is handsome no one doubts. But so also, it has been said, is Carpentier"

"Louise Brooks, a dainty little brunette, with cute girlish ways, a way of flirting, a way of kissing and with a figure that formerly earned Ziegfeld or Carroll honors, looks like a good screen personality. If properly handled, she will be a real comer"

"Louise is looking her prettiest as the drug store clerk. Her piquant little face has gained more expression since the dissapointment of A Social Celebrity. Yet she's in the picture more as decoration than plot"

"Louise Brooks has little to do, but she manages to flash a slow, 
come-on smile for her sundry close-ups"

"The picture is worth going to see just to look at Louise Brooks, one of the most ornamental young persons we have on the screen"

"... pretty little Louise Brooks"

David H. Strauss, W. C. Fields's Old Army game holiday offering at Strand, "Morning Telegraph", July
          5, 1926 (+ July 11)

"William Gaxton makes a pleasing juvenile, while Louise Brooks is dainty and cute in a role that offers no great opportunities"

"For good measure, however, someone has had the sense to write in a part for Louise Brooks. Now there is a lady we always are cheerful over when our men friends rave. We can understand it perfectly. Not only has this considerate some one written in a romance for Miss Brooks, but he has also provided her with a chance to wear a bathing suit!"

"Also involved, but only slightly, is the attractive Louise Brooks, herself late of the Follies"

"Louise Brooks is ornamental in one or two bits"

"Louise Brooks, who plays opposite fields, has little to do but look pretty, which she accomplishes by the generous use of both her screen expressions"

"Louise Brooks, who is good looking on the stage, appears in this picture, and is good looking in it"

"Brooks ... is the snappiest looking girl in the movies"

"Louise Brooks, a little lady who promises to create nothing sort of a sensation, because of her portrayal of the girl Fields would like to marry, gives a mighty fine performance"

"... and there is the radient presence of Miss Louise Brooks, who lends a piquant charm to the piece"

"This picture not only affords a good deal of typical Fields comedy in a suitable story frame, but also reveals the possibilities of Louise Brooks, Follies girl who is making decidely good in the cinema. ... All told, Fields need not regret his first Paramount production. Louise Brooks, with a touch of piquancy, a good range of registration, and the conception of restriant, is pleasing as the heroine"

"Louise Brooks shows great possibilities though her part is small"

"Also mixed in the presentation is Louise Brooks, but, outside of what is nowadays called Personality, she contributes very little"

"The story of It's the old Army game is as thin as the poorest chicken soup, and outside of Fields and Louise Brooks the cast means nothing at all"

"Louise Brooks is featured"

"Louise Brooks furnishes all the pictorial appeal. She is one of the prettiest of the screen's younger players"

"Then there is picquant Louise Brooks late featured dancer of The Follies and Louis the 14th, who in this picture contributes a performance second only to that given by the star"

"Louise Brooks, a little lady who promises to create nothing short of  a sensation, because of her portrayal as the girl Fields would like to marry, gives a mighty fine performance"

"His lovely clerk (Louise Brooks) runs away with a real estate salesman"

"Louise Brooks is cast as the girl Fields would like to marry. She is said to give a very pleasant performance"

"Louise Brooks promises to create a small sensation because of her portrayal as the girl Fields would like to marry"

"Louise Brooks has the feminine lead and gives a creditable performance"

"If Mr. Fields is responsible for the continuous fun, the beauty of  the picture must be credited largely to Louise Brooks, who takes the part of Mildred"

"Fields bears the brunt of almost the entire production in which Louise Brooks proves his efficient aid and adds attractiveness"

"Mr. Fields has to carry the entire production on his shoulders, with some slight assistance from the sparkling Louise Brooks"

"Louise Brooks is featured"

"Louise Brooks, the pert young woman who will be remembered for her work in The American Venus and A Social Celebrity, the latter with Adolphe Menjou, has the lead role opposite Fields. She poses a bit. An excuse was found to get her into a bathing suit too, which wasn't a bad move, on the whole ... By the way, Edward Sutherland, who directed the picture, has just married Louise Brooks"

"Louise Brooks has a prominent place in the cast and adds to the interest"

"Then there is piquant pert little Louise Brooks, featured along with Mr. Fields. She contributes a performance second only to that given by the star"

THE SHOW OFF

"Louise Brooks and George Kelly also handle their parts most effectively"

"Louise Brooks, Claire MacDonald and Gregory Kelly are well cast in the support"

"Louise Brooks is cast as something-or-other, but as usual is conspicuous for her figure, her dramatic ability being perhaps not so good"

"Louise Brooks played the role of Clara, all made over to suit her"

"Louise Brooks makes a good sweetheart of  the heroine's brother; in the scenes where she is shown upbraiding the hero for having brought misery upon the heroine's family, she is very good"

"Louise Brooks seems slightly insipid beside the brilliant characterizations of her more experienced fellows"

"Her little brother and his girl, played by Louise Brooks and Gregory Kelly, look like the modern youths. They don't act like them"

"Louise Brooks is the Clara. The movie people decided that the unhappily married sister of the play was not suited to Louise, so the movie Clara turns up as a next-door neighbor, Joe's girl friend. Miss Brooks has little to do but wear form-revealing gowns and ever so often uteer a 'wise crack,' for all titles of this nature are put right in her mouth"

"Louise Brooks as Clara has very little to do, but she made a charming picture"

"Directed by Malcolm St. Clair, the film boasts of exceptional naturalistic acting on the part of Ford Sterling, Lois Wilson, Claire McDowell, C. W. Goodrich, Gregory Kelly and - in one sequence - Louise Brooks ... Miss Brooks is best in the scene where she burlesques the pantomine employed by Mr. Sterling to describe his automobile experience"

"But nothing is gained by the close-ups of Joe and his girl, Clara - parts played without conviction by Gregory Kelly and Louise Brooks"

"Louise Brooks spitfires, prisses, oogles and calls it a day of heavy emoting. Miss Brooks is a distinct type, but she seems to suffer from ineffeciant direction and miscasting. She also appears a trifle rounded, for and aft, in this opera, but this may be due to her skin-tight dresses"

"Louise Brooks is decorative as the girl next door"

"The added character of the sweetheart next door is played by Louise Brooks, whose youth and beauty make up for her lack of warmth and spontaneity in characterization"

"Louise Brooks, that pretty little thing drafted from the chorus to the movies, is absolutely lost. Just one close-up of her and Gregory Kelly lets you know she's in the movie at all"

"Louise Brooks, Gregory Kelly and C. W. Goodrich (here playing his original stage role) do well"

"Louise Brooks is an added attraction but her part in the story isn't important"

"Young Louise Brooks lends her interesting presence to scenes of this picture, but it looks as if her thoughts constantly wandered from the situation in which she and other players were supposed to be engrossed"

"Gregory Kelly and Louise Brooks also appear prominently"

"A romance has been developed between Joe Fisher, the inventor son, given a distinctive performance by Gregory Kelly, and girl next door, fetchingly portrayed by Louise Brooks"

"Louise Brooks, adds a dash of color to the offering with her daring personality"

"And henceforth and forever when we think of The show off we shall picture Louise Brooks and her display of hosiery"

"Adequate, but not outstanding support is given Sterling by Lois Wilson as Amy, Louise Brooks as Clara, Gregory Kelly as Joe, and Clara McDowell as the mother" - review in St. Louis, Missouri newspaper

"Lois Wilson is the amiable and trusting little wife and Louise Brooks has the other principal feminine role as Brother Joe's sweetheart" 

"Ford Sterling in the title role lives the part, ably supported by Lois Wilson, Louise Brooks and a well-balanced cast"

"Louise Brooks, Gregory Kelly and C.W. Goodrich form the remaining members of the essential cast"

"Louise Brooks as Clara, her sister, almost runs away with the picture"

"Louise Brooks and Gregory Kelly acquit themselves with distinction"

"Louise Brooks looks like a seat for the Follies"

"Lois Wilson is seen as the girl who believes in him, and Louise Brooks as the girl who doesn't"

"Brooks shows her usual ability to portray character parts"

"Lois Wilson, Louise Brooks, and Gregory Kelly acquit themselves with distinction"
