Mr. Downey has the role of an Irish stable boy in this delightful screen creation. He loves dainty Mary Cardigan, played fcj Betty Lawford, and how he wins her makes enjoyable entertainment. Halliwell Hobbes, a well-known English (Shakespearian actor, is seen as the Earl of Balkcrry, and Colin Keith Johnston, a British player of fine ability, is cast in the villain’s role. Other stage players in the cast include J. M. Kerrigan, Mackenzie Ward, Elizabeth Murray, Sonia Karlov, and others. The production was directed by Kenneth Webb under the supervision of Robert T. Kane, producer. The scenes of the picture arc laid in Ireland and New York, and the story concerns the love romance of a girl of the nobility and a stable boy with a golden voice. The supporting players arc notable artists.
