...have forgotten what Milton Sills looks like, wait patiently at this one and you can find out. He strolls in very late as that fabulous creature, an ascetic Italian duke. But his arrival does little to help the piece, which is melo-amorous studio stuff and none too clever at that. Doris Kenyon is present as a somewhat simpering U. S. jazzabel out on an ultimately successful coronet hunt. The header (out of a window) that wicked Count Stelio (Charles Beyer) takes is alleged actually to have dislocated the actor's neck...

In so far as the plot seeks to burlesque the matrimonial difficulties of one Nooky, a newspaper reporter, it is reasonably clever, just reasonably. There was always the distinct impression that Mr. Grossman and Mr. Morgan were putting a lot more into their lines than was actually intended, Mr. Crosby, as far as we could see, made the part of Mrs. Smith pretty much of a riot, all on his own hook...
