...magazine. He has a tremendous talent for making people like him, and among those who do are most of the nation's electric-lit names. He works hard and circulates fast, so that readers of The Family Circle are let in on what Lupe Velez said to Johnny Weissmuller when she wanted him to hit a drunk at the next table; what Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Joan Crawford told about their trip to Europe; how George Olsen travelled all the way to Cincinnati because he thought he could beat Ben Bernie at golf. The Family Circle also brightens...
...other hand, Lois Moran topped a middling success in last season's This is New York with an appearance in the smash-hit Of Thee I Sing. Charles ("Buddy") Rogers, and, to a far greater degree, Lupe Velez, are currently enjoying a profitable association with Florenz Ziegfeld in his ornamental Hot-cha!

When the cousin's wife, finally a widow, goes to Arizona, the picture has a halfway happy ending because the squaw, having contracted the habit of self-sacrifice, kills herself...
...best characterizations were done by E. Alyn Warren as Lo Sang Kee, the cultured and dignified old Chinaman and E. G. Robinson as the vulgar and blatant half caste, Charlie Young. Lewis Ayres makes an ornamental hero and Lupe Velez has her moments, but she has a tendency towards overacting and is a shade too kittenish for a demure Chinese doll. In short the excellent direction and casting save it from being just another one of those pictures...
