...Bancroft but is a little bigger, better natured and less impressive. When a crazy fireman knocks open a steam valve in the stokehole where he works, McLaglen gets hurt rescuing Claire Windsor who has come down there with a party of passengers being shown around the ship. Does that girl make goo-goo eyes? Yes, she does make goo-goo eyes. Is she smuggling diamonds? Yes, she's smuggling diamonds. Three or four years ago a film photographed, acted, plotted as effectively as this would have been called, inaccurately, a masterpiece. Audiences who saw it last week thought...

It would have taken an actress to make convincing this scenario about a check-girl who pretends to be a debutante from Boston to win the love of a young man who pretends to be a millionaire.

Lovborg, however, reassures George that he is satisfied with his moral victory over vicious diversion...
There were at least two men in love with her-this girl who lived in Greenwich Village with wide innocent eyes. One, a publicity man and therefore a cynic, realized that she was "a charming woman without the faintest conception of her own limitations-damned dangerous." The other, an engineer and therefore an idealist, thought her "like a spearhead of beauty in a difficult world." Certainly she made it difficult for him: ran off with him in spite of, or because of, his wife; then left him in the lurch because, she discovered it was the cynic she "really loved...
