Breaking away from German Expressionism, our native playwrights are developing a special national technique--a sort of radio-ragtime-phonograph-jazz.

It has now completed the cycle and entered its final phase as a cinema. It proves itself flimsy film material. The story tells of a titled Englishwoman stranded in Manhattan with the alternative of going hungry or to the Devil. Corinne Griffith does as much as possible (a very great deal) to pick the story up and put it on its listless feet...
