...road restaurants, brought home tasty food to Tex. Within 48 hours les petites filles had M. Epstein so well in hand that he let Miss Guinan lunch (once) at Havre's Frascati's. Vive la petite fille?then bang! From Paris the Director General of the Surete Generale, M. Maurier, telegraphed that nobody was to be let out of the pen. M. Epstein, Miss Guinan & kids were undone. Kid Anne Boleyn started general hysterics by screaming: "We'll never get to Paris! I want to go home...
...creation of sinister atmosphere by means of makeup, pale rolling eyes, false whiskers, mouth pieces used for the distortion of the teeth, and stilts in his shoes to make him look taller. He is Svengali, the musical hypnotist of the Latin quarter, in a story that is Du Maurier's Trilby except that the character of Trilby (Marian Marsh) is played down and Svengali played up. Barrymore handles all the artifices of the acting trade with gusto and intelligence. He meets Trilby at the time when she has fallen in love with a charming English aristocrat...

Peter Ibbetson seemed peculiarly apt, and Joseph Urban did some notable settings for it. The Shuberts' play is not so well mounted. The fanciful story of two lovers who, parted as children, meet only in their dreams in later life and are only wholly reunited in death, is one which ; goes...
...once wrote on her photograph: "I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honour more." Holmes, however, has been true to her. A fair thematic idea knits up this otherwise silly and incoherent picture. All is based on an old story of Sir Gerald Du Maurier. All is distinctly British in tone and notable only for the first appearance in talking pictures of Mrs. Patrick Campbell, famed British oldtimer. Now 65, she takes the part of a stern aunt. Most expected shot: Holmes beating up his rival...
