Some May Take It Good-Naturedly; Others Will Think It Awful Mess
The Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor
Kathleen Clifford in
"ANGEL CHILD"
Plaza — Hodkinson
It's stuff like this that makes people call 'em ••movies." At least, it can be said that this moved. I'll dare anyone to find a story in this or a half-way reason for nine-tenths of the disconnected happenings we gret all through the offering.
in sizing up ;i picture from an audience standpoint, however, I try to forget the technical shortcomings of a production in a measure, and while I feel certain that discriminating audiences or those who see enough pictures regularly to know when a thing is all wrong, will decide that this is painfully crude
junk and an utter waste of time, there may be an element in some communities who will accept this bunch of foolishness without checking your house off their list or getting sore at you for playing it.
As an attraction, it certainly isn't. As a fill-in for an off night, it might get over with the don't-care gang who take 'em as they come without a murmur and I don't doubt but what the kids will get some amusement out of the hokum incidents in this where they might not understand a well-constructed story that plays to situations rather than broad, forced comedy without rhyme or reason. I am making the distinction in this case because this is at least devoid of murder and sech and is harmless and clean even if it does fail to impress or make sense.
Kathleen Clifford showed considerable promise in the actress vision and in her final scenes but if she hopes to stay in the celluloid, let's hope that they don't wish her into another mess like this.
