...spare horses, sedans for the judges and Promoter Parton. Eighteen miles out, the lone woman in the race was disqualified when a judge caught her riding in a truck while her horses peered out placidly from a trailer. When the going got tough, five other riders dropped out. Nevertheless, Promoter Parton and his pals had a rare outing, a lot of it in wayside saloons. But as the California line neared they began to drop out. With them disappeared Parton and the plans for a big welcome in San Francisco...
...York Herald and with it the Paris edition. Hills asked Munsey to let him run the Paris Herald and got, with the job, Munsey's blunt opinion that "there is no need of a first-class newspaperman on the Herald."

Frankly sentimental, often overdone, and built about a plot which is so poorly constructed as to contain two separate climaxes, the film nevertheless succeeds by virtue of the sheer beauty of the dance, the genuine character of the dancing school atmosphere, and the well-chosen background music. Janine Charrat, as the child ballerina, has been carefully directed with a view to psychological complications by Jean Benoit-Levy, and as a result her performance in more convincing than...
