She was 17, spry and "cute" when she stepped into the chorus of Florenz Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolic. In 1920 she married Cinemactor Richard Barthelmess, and the same year her charm and intelligence got her a part in Mr. Ziegfeld's Sally.

It is a War picture dealing with aviators, but the usual framework of such efforts has been drawn into a tense believable story, without a woman in the cast, without formal plot, without undue sentimentality. The action concerns Richard Barthelmess' dislike for a superior officer who seems to have a talent for sending young aviators to death needlessly. When he is moved into the officer's job he finds that he has to do the same thing in much the same way. In the end he sacrifices...
