Shanghai Gesture is notable for its inexcusably bad acting and directing. Magniloquent Director Josef von Sternberg (once plain Joe Stern of Queens) apparently spent a million or so dollars trying to repeat his former success in turning Marlene Dietrich into the screen's No. 1 siren (Blue Angel, Morocco, etc.). He succeeds merely in making Gesture an unexciting series of close-ups of Miss Tierney, a nice, pretty, corn-fed American girl of 21, who is too young and inexperienced for her part...

With exams only a couple of weeks away, despairing Miss Sternberg has been staying awake nights trying to figure out how to get in touch with the burglar. At length a solution came to her, and right out of Professor Friedrich's course. Recalling that almost everybody reads the papers, she informed the Boston journals yesterday of her misfortune. Now all she can do is trust in the power of the press, and hope the old meany can read...
