The work of Henry Edwards and Anna Neagle calls forth a very high order of praise. For example: It is a cast-iron story. With. Henry Edwarda and Anna Neagle in the leading roles you have a picture which will appeal to millions." (Wolverhampton Express and Star). Several reviewers make re ference to the unfailing box-office ingredients of the story. The "Midland Daily Telegraph SAYS: "With breeziness, humour, melo- drama, and romance the picture should be a distinct popular suc cess." This opinion is corroborated by the "Brighton Standard " which says: "Comedy and thrilla are amirably blended in this pic ture. It holds" the attention throughout." The Western Eyen ing Herald" announces from Ply- mouth The humour and romance and emotion are of the kind that will have the best, desired effects at the box-office.**
