...play is not particularly good. Handicapped by its star, it makes mediocre entertainment. Mr. Blackmer makes the dent a pillow might if fired from a cannon instead of solid shot. The presence of Martha Bryan Allen, loveliest of our younger actresses, is a vast pictorial advantage...
Velazquez (1599-1660) because, long ago, he conceived that the plump oval face of a little Spanish prince with beady eyes would almost achieve piquancy if tilted beneath a hat like a black velvet sofa pillow-that the princeling's rotund body, swathed in the ribbon-counter elegance of his period, would appear almost slight if mounted upon a very fat pony-that the obese quadruped would appear speedy as a blooded stallion if he were poised on his hind-legs against a sky of troubled fire and blown grey cloud.

Since the impression is rapidly spreading that Corinne Griffith is the most beautiful female in the films, there is virtually no point in saying the doings are dull. Watch her head against the pillow of a hospital cot; see her escape from the very jaws of a greedy alligator; follow her through the thunder storm on the convict island. Do all this and be satisfied. The direction of Robert Z. Leonard and the terrible titles will not wholly flatten the effect...
