Reception


One New York State paper found it a “motion picture of unusual excellence, judged from any standpoint,” and continued: “Miss Francis, as the much-married divorcee of the story, is a poised, ruthless woman of the world and displays all the seductive artistry which long ago established her as a star of the first rank. Bruce Cabot is equally fine as a happily married man, a returned officer of the present war, who succumbs to the wiles of the predatory Miss Francis, and leaves his family for her. Helen Mack is outstanding as the deserted wife who fights for her rights, and others in the cast who do especially good work are Jerome Cowan, Craig Reynolds, Ruth Lee, Jean Fenwick, Mary Gordon, Jonathan Hale and Addison Richards, as well as two precocious child actors, Larry Olsen and Johnny Calkins.”
