particularly prominent motion-picture actresses, Barbara La Marr probably least deserves her distinction. Possibly she did once; a good many feet of film have gone through the camera since then. Here she is a siren of European capitals who marches about in white satin with a tall wand. Men kill themselves. She tries to kill herself. The maid shifted the poison, making it a "happy" ending...
Sandra. Barbara La Marr-she of the expansive figure-plays a woman with two souls. The first was faithfully domestic, the second cruel and ecumenical. She followed the second to Europe, to the arms of many lovers, to the edge of the Seine. Then, in one of the prize "blah" endings, she came home-and her husband took her gently in his arms.

He follows her to the Yukon, and there he and Dan shoot it out) after...

The scene in the office of Al Tyler with off-stage jazz bands, is a true picture of the slapdash production of vaudeville and musical belly-wash by the mighty morons of the "continuous." This scene allows the introduction of the vaudeville team of Hackett and La Marr (Sam White and Renee Noel) who bounce through a demonstration of their new and excellent dancing act, supplying much slang and local patter. The chief feeder to Fields is Jules Jordan, in the roll of Dave Loeb, attorney whom Henkel employs in his lawsuit against Tyler for the recovery...
