This is the second vehicle by which the delightful ingenue, Miss Lois Moran, has conveyed her exotic charms to the public. The first was "Stella Dallas". Again Miss Moran is the daughter of Belle Bennett, who it will be remembered, was Stella herself. This time, however, the effort is not as serious, nor as introspective, due to the material and not the actresses...
...Reckless Lady. Belle Bennett and Lois Moran, who did so admirably in Stella Dallas, have another mother and daughter fable. Most of it is in Monte Carlo.

Linscott replaced him in the box against his former Alma Mater and, although another run slipped across in the seventh frame, he had control of the situation at all times, striking out eight men in the six innings...
