The funniest thing of all is when the hero, protesting his constant affection for the heroine who is about to leave him and home for Hollywood, suddenly ceases his disconsolate farewell sobbing to administer unto the wayward lass a terrific kick in the pants. An adagio dancing pair, Deenova and Berinoff, amazed and pleased. A more perfectly trained chorus does not kick along Broadway...
...Shubert operetta. In Katja, however, there is more than enough humor and music to relieve the redundancy of thought. Having already charmed the British, it brings to this civilization "Leander", a song that needs no comment because everyone will soon know it by heart; Doris Patston, a pert lass who captivates; Jack Sheehan, comedian, who exchanges an honest laugh for every minute of the audience's attention; Lilian Davies, prima donna, and Allan Prior, tenor, who can sing, act, and look handsome all at the same time.

Those primarily interested in the Marquise de la Falaise de la Coudraye will take pleasure in seeing her displayed over at least ninety-five per cent of the entire length of her newest film. Her story is that of a poor but honest lass from a downtown burlesque show. She is vital. She turns handsprings, plays with a parrot. She is not like the pale water flowers of young Mr. Alden's Park Avenue set. So Mr. Alden decides to marry her. But first she must learn fine manners. Alas! Fine manners destroy...
