"Miss Carson, a star of the future if ‘ever there was one, contributed the show's warmest and most endearing moment in her versioi of the Sir Harry Lauder hit, 'Roamin' in the Gloamin.* It was also Miss Carson who imparted most of the broad fun and vitality to a satire. .

The New York Journal American's Jack O' Brian added to the kudos with: "...Jeannie Carson, the British youngster, remains the most endearing light comic leading lady to hit the public's fancy
