...died. For years too fat for the handkerchief trick, he never lost the lightning of his hand and eye. To the day of his death he could catch a fly in flight between his thumb & forefinger. The day of his death, like most of the days of his life, found Griffo without a dime. Money was minted to his memory.

The able direction of one-time newspaperman Monta Bell, the able performances of Actor Gilbert and of Actress Eagels, make it possible to forgive certain weaknesses in the story. The weakness of the conclusion in which Mr. Gilbert wobbles off with his mother (adequately played by Gladys Brockwell) can be largely forgiven because...
