“Artfully the film kept everyone waiting. For well over a reel, George Marion and Marie Dressler admirably sustain interest, and yet there is impatience to hear and to see Greta Garbo. At last the saloon door opens, the graceful-gawky figure appears, slouches over to the table, sits down, says to the waiter Gif me a visky in that haunting, husky growl.” Courtesy Warner Bros.

This film accompanies Modern Matinees: Iris Barry’s History of Film.
