This is an unusual picture in many ways; First, the story Is a .gripping one and. has a Avide ap'p'eal. It is beautifully photographed, and the acting is beyond criticism. Then there is some of the most gorgeous spedtacles in it that one could see on the screen; ; There is .\a\' dashing 1 parade; M ' there' is "a banquet hall scene that is simply amazing in its brilliancy. Doris Kenyon does .the best work' of her "ncreeu career■ in this' picture. Warner Baxter and Philo' MCjCollough ■ are : splendid in their ~ respective ; Vbles. : - ; Charles Murray is as funny as ever.' Litfle' Nancy Kelly, who plays the. part; of a three-year-old boy, seems to be another ''child 'find "for- the '■screen. The supporting pictures are ; also good, and include a' ; s'plendid comedy.
