Dolores Costello
8 July 2023
Rich bored socialite Connie Newton (Dolores Costello) falls for Neil Hartley. Bobby Brandon is her drunken party friend. She next falls for the married Arthur Raymond. Arthur tries to get a divorce but fails.

Apparently, Costello was a silent film star who faded after the transition into sound for various reasons. Her voice is fine and her acting should be good for the talkies. She supposedly retired as wife of John Barrymore until that marriage ended. She's the grandmother of Drew Barrymore. She has some of that screen presence although not quite as bright. I just don't like the character. It's not that appealing and her romantic journey is not compelling. I'm not rooting for anybody.
