...Curtis had already made his monumental success in magazines when he decided to try newspapers. He failed to repeat. The Curtis-Martin newspapers, Philadelphia Public Ledger, Evening Ledger, Inquirer, and the New York Evening Post comprise a weak point in the Curtis frontiers.

Not having hailed her as a "greater than Garbo" in the first place, however, I feel free to repeat my first impression that she is a refreshing and unusual type, entertaining to see and vigorous in her style. This is not to say that she is a great actress. It seems quite possible that she may reach greater success as a featured player taking character roles than...
