Betty Compson, whose swan song was

add another victory (well earned) in
her comeback, so called. She handles
the main supporting role with ease,
keeping pace with the star throughout:
Loretta Young sparkles in a small

the 'old salt" who relies on religion
and hard liquor, and Knute Ericsson is
also seen to good advantage.
