Said Cinemactress Bergner: "I would like you to believe that we have made the film with love and with reverence. " . .

Cain and Mabel (Warner Bros.). "Her face is new," comments a character early in this picture in reference to Marion Davies. Actually, Cinemactress Davies' face, first seen on the screen in 1918, is getting quite old. It will never be as old, however, as Cain and Mabel's plot, which combines two of the cinema's most familiar story formulas: 1) Hate Can Turn to Love; 2) The Way to a Man's Heart Is Through His Stomach...
