  2. Or a bad college "arty" film! If you didn't tell us what that one was, I'd be really puzzled.

  3. That was wonderful--I wonder who the actress is?

    I'll bet some boob shows this somewhere as "a typical example of early talkies," like they're always claiming "Teddy at the Throttle" is a typical silent melodrama . .
