Loves of an Actress is a tragedy, with Pola Negri reclining on a soft couch most of the time. She loves them all-bankers, counts, newspaper owners-but, deep down, she is disgusted with men. Then along comes a lean-hipped young diplomat (Nils Asther) and the Lady of the Couch is stricken with love-at-first-sight. "What does it matter?" she cries, "A man-a woman-before them the highway of life." But, alas for the highway, a rejected count threatens to reveal her past and ruin the young diplomat's career. Death comes to the couch...
...point in the film, Miss Davies gives imitations of Mae Murray, Lillian Gish, Pola Negri, which make her a candidate for Ail-American funnywoman. In private life, she has been known to do an hilarious Charles S. Chaplin...
Three Sinners. There are more than three sinners. In fact, all the leading characters, except the little child, sin. But they do it nicely.

So, seizing opportunity by the hair, she puts on a snow white wig, changes her name, becomes a woman of adventure. Later, her husband meets her, does not recognize her; cinemagoers...

However, to give Gene credit, he does surround himself with a some-what more entertaining group than usual to celebrate his "Hall and Farewell" performances. Now that he is leaving Boston, for a while at least, the reviewers will have to give more attention to the feature film at the Babylonish picture palace...
...Pola Negri's glittering photodrama "Three Sinners" is one of those pictures which thrill backwoods audiences and cause girls with limited wardrobes to leave home for Hollywood. The features of the hectic and soul-stirring tragedy are Pola's bare back and-her silver wig. She handles both capably, so capably in fact that Dresden, Vienna, and Paris combined have nothing in the way of feminity to rival her. She portrays dramatically--a la bare back and silver wig--a woman whose ruined life was brought about through her husband's indifference. A railroad wreck, gambling dens in full blast...
