...many of the gangsters could place Von Elm. Until last year his activities in the East had been infrequent and unobtrusive. But Robert Tyre Jones Jr. they remembered well indeed, the chubby Buster Brown of 17 from Atlanta, Ga., who qualified so brilliantly in the amateur championship of 1919 at Oakmont and blazed through his matches to the very final. Two former champions had sickened at that fell onslaught, tall Bob Gardner of Chicago and seasoned Walter Fownes of the home club, and only with difficulty did ponderous Dave Herron at last fix a damper on the ardent cherub...
...reaction to a dispatch that had every indication of veracity; a story that, in Los Angeles, three men had been arrested, that the police had been tipped off and, shadowing them, had heard them plotting to kidnap for $100,000 ransom first Mary Pickford, then Pola Negri, Buster Keaton and a four-year-old grandson of Edward L.

Rather less effective was Jacqueline Logan as the French girl surrounded by Parisian night life that obviously existed only in the excited brain of some Hollywood director...
...Navigator. Buster Keaton is like President Coolidge. You either like him or you do not. If you are one of the latter, you will stay away from the box-office polls. Otherwise, you will watch him on shipboard, attacked by cannibals, prodded by swordfish. You will continue happily in his constituency...
