Dolores Costello Leaves On A Perfunctory Note
9 April 2020
Warren William isn't getting anywhere with his painting, so Dolores Costello goes out into the world to see what she can make of it. She soon makes Anthony Bushell and vice versa. His father, H.B. Warner doesn't approve, so she agrees to give him up. However, Joe Donohue, who wants her, catches her saying goodbye.

It's a surprisingly stiffly acted bit of drama; perhaps it's simply because the situation arose so much in dramas this period, that no one could think of anything fresh. Certainly H.B. Warner is surprisingly stiff, and everyone is stagebound in their overwritten lines.

This was Miss Costello's last movie under her Warner Brothers contract. She was retiring to raise her children from her marriage to John Barrymore. She would not return to the screen for another five years.
