Film Notes

The story is cleverly conceived. It concerns a pretty girl in a small town who thinks that she should be in the movies and who is urged by her friend to enter. She is of a poor family and has an ailing grandfather. […] It is an amusing idea, good comedy, and the fact that the inside life of Hollywood is shown with many notable stars appearing for a moment makes it a capital draw. Everyone will want to see it. The girl meets Mary Pickford, to whom she delivers a dress. Mary calls Doug Fairbanks out that the girl may meet him. Other stars appear equally as briefly, but they appear.
