The Crimson Playgoer

The Sailor's Sweetheart Learns About Life But is Not Particularly Worth Watching

Boston says "she's our weakness now" but Paramount's "friskiest, fastest" comedy fails to hit the high spots promised by it. Clara Bow is a nice little girl out of her element as a hostess in a dance hall, and it seems that she is misunderstood. After the local swains have attempted to discover the talent hidden behind a demure exterior; it finally turns out that the right party happens along, and after the usual expected and unexpected misunderstandings and controversies, the show is at an end.

James Hall as a Hollywood gob takes the mariner's roll with wind abeam, while the supperting cast fits into the picture with only a few jars.

The stage show somewhat relieves the atmosphere with a well ordered and well served bill of fare. An Oriental dance suffices to turn the mind away from the terrors of the day, while a guitar duet with the typical songs in the shade, may satisfy the weltschmerz of a freshman out of sorts.--C. M. U.
