...large steak, a bowl of fruit salad, several bowls of tea with cream. When not in training he drinks as many as three bottles of champagne at a sitting, eats twice as many grapefruit, breakfasts on cornflakes which he prefers to pulverize by wrapping them up in a bath-towel and pounding the towel on the floor. Friendly, sociable, he likes to frighten the patrons of cabarets with his ferocious grin. For dancing companions, he prefers smallish, plump girls to one of whom (Emelia Tersini) his engagement was rumored and denied during the last year...

...scenes in which Swanson tries to live up to the rumor that there is a dash of insanity in her family. It is too bad that a picture which is really good entertainment should suffer from sloppy photography (e.g. the shot of Swanson drying herself in a towel robe after a shower, in which the spectator is allowed to discover that she has been taking a shower in a brassiere). Too free play has been given to the famed Swansonian mannerisms, goo goo eyeing and curling her upper lip to show off her teeth. Best shot: the fadeout, with Miss...
