...Colman, Walter Huston, Dudley Digges struggle with Kiplingesque stoicism through the somewhat dated heroics and stout fella philosophy of Rudyard Kipling's first novel, made into a picture for the second time. Ida Lupino (re-emerging after a long hibernation) throws a rousing fit of hysterics as the hoydenish model who defaces Ronald Colman's pictorial masterpiece just after he goes blind. Unfortunately for the tragic effect, cinemaudiences can see for themselves that the blind artist's masterpiece is a daub...
...hoydenish city of fancy, flouncy ladies, sporting gents, muddy boulevards, the Widow O'Leary (Alice Brady) settles her brood in the pine-shantied "Patch," takes in washing, raises her boys, accumulates hard-earned comfort and Daisy, the cow. That Daisy's right hind hoof packs a punch that will bear watching is evident when she kicks young Bob (Tom Brown) into the arms of Gretchen, the house girl (June Storey), to settle the future of the youngest O'Leary.

That Farrar still sings, however, that she still pursues an active career was proved by last week's account of a season's stewardship. She has covered a 21,000-mile concert tour which began in Manhattan, went through Canadian cities, through Manhattan again to Chicago, the Pacific Coast, back through the South...
...wealth which grateful recipients of its healing power have laid at the feet of the shepherdess (now the priestess of the shrine), El Gaucho rides toward it through imaginary Andes, as steep and beautiful as the mountains of the moon. On the way he stops to pick up a hoydenish little mountain girl. With her he descends upon the city of the miracle, capturing it, in the Fairbanks manner, unassisted. Treachery and leprosy combine to despoil him of his victory. But on his side there are the mountain girl, the girl of the shrine, and of course the Virgin...
