Reviews

  • "If not taken as information, it is cracking good entertainment", Carl Sandburg reviewed September 29.[4]
  • "Don’t miss Wine. It’s a thoroughly refreshing draught ... there are only about five actresses who give me a real thrill on the screen – and Clara is nearly five of them", Grace Kingsley in The Los Angeles Times August 24.
