...servants (Nancy Carroll) and becoming a son of honest toil instead of a Paris taxi driver, it does so in an obvious and sensational way, using the stock episodes of crown jewels, an escape to Constantinople, a U. S. heiress and the officer's slinky Moscow mistress (Lilyan Tashman). As sometimes happens in such cases, there are moments in Scarlet Dawn so well imagined that they make the rest of it seem even more shoddy than it is; the one, for instance, in which Nikiti's wife polishes his boots when he is preparing to desert...

S. couple seeing Europe for the first time, partly because of the unnecessary subplot involving Lilyan Tashman as an adventuress who tries to steal $50.000 from Mr. Haddock, and precocious Mitzi Green, who frustrates the conspiracy. It is funny when the insane hilarity of Author Stewart is permitted to come to the surface: Mr. Haddock (Leon Errol) wrestling with a brakeman in an empty car; Mrs. Haddock...
