...Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has spent $200,000 trying to do so without success; whatever Warner Brothers spent on this picture can safely be listed on the wrong side of the ledger also. This is the fault, not of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. who acts in the picture and helped Niven Busch Jr. write an intelligent adaptation from Mary McCall's novel, but of a weakness in the story itself. Trying to show how a young officer of the Tsar's guards faces the issues of the revolution by marrying one of his servants (Nancy Carroll) and becoming...
Miss Pinkerton is handicapped against its current competitors by containing no monsters, lunatics or apes. Its blood-curdling qualities, those of a puzzle rather than a nightmare, are therefore attributable to a skillful adaptation by Niven Busch of Mary Roberts Rinehart's story.

Dirks was forced to change the name to "Hans & Fritz," during the War to "The Captain & the Kids." Based on some youngsters familiar to Germans in the famed drawings of Cartoonist Wilhelm Busch, the "Kids," their antics and tricks on the ever gullible Captain and Inspector, amused millions of U. S. children, still retain immense popularity. Dibble's first "comic," indistinguishable from the original, unfolded an elaborate plot involving a weight-reducing machine, whereby the Kids got pies by the dozen, ice cream...
...Violinist Busch will be heard only with orchestra on his first U. S. tour. From Boston he goes to Detroit, Manhattan, Minneapolis, Chicago, accompanies the Philharmonic to Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore, ends his tour at St. Louis...
