THE LYCEUM
“THE JOY GIBL" Glorification of' youth marks “The Joy Girl, I’Swith youngest film star leading.' The story tells of a poor girl who aspired to wealth and position at almost any cost. A bit of a snob, in her young ignorance, she deliberately sough after rich men. But, thanks to innate fineness and a lucky stroke, it turns out that a certain young chauffeur in whom she is really interested, is actually Prince Charming in disguise. Dwan presents the brilliance of New York and Palm Beach in a series of remarkable shots for which he took the entire company to the scenes. While there is none of the exaggerated splendor that sometimes accompanies pictures of society, nothing of the real luxury is omitted. Aside from being a picture that defends modern youth, “The Joy Girl” also is an argument for realism on the screen, which is something for which Allan Dwan has long been noted.
