...returning on the most American of all products, the movie, with irresistible authority. Germans have made several of the best motion pictures in history (The Last Laugh, Siegfried) and this latest sample is of unfailing excellence. It is not a new story, telling as it does of the pretty girl, the old trapeze artist, and the young trapeze artist who weaned away her love.

Mrs. Crane knows quite well she can "do" nothing about it if Nathalia breaks out again in the next six years. She is perfectly aware that in the girl flows blood, not only from John and Priscilla Alden, but from "the grand old Spanish family, Abarbanel, who counted among their number poets, musicians and a minister of state to Ferdinand and Isabella." Author Stephen Crane (The Red Badge of Courage) was "a not distant relative." A grand-uncle edited...
