Reception
Mordaunt Hall, critic for The New York Times, gave the movie a mixed review, stating that Kelly's "performance is easily the outstanding one in this production, and singularly enough it is the first time that he has acted before the camera."[1] Hall thought, however, that Dix gave "just another motion-picture performance" and the narrative was "stretched to the breaking point."[1]
Preservation status
A print of the film reportedly survives in a foreign archive.[2][3][4]
