criticism
“The most impressive thing about this film is the deep knowledge of the audience, which has determined every detail of this excellently made film. Here is everything that is required in the cinema: the woman from the people, who for half an hour from a silly coincidence becomes a genteel lady, who almost pays for this short dream with her happiness in life and finally arrives at a happy ending because one is amusing - skillful entanglement wants it. The applause was great and legitimate, and it will increase as the audience goes to the cinema less for the sake of artistic excitement than for the sake of pleasant entertainment. "
“The Terra is showing its first independent picture of the new era: a world premiere with all the signs of success. Long, sustained final applause for Lee Parry, for Max Mack. To start with, a balanced work that was considered on all sides was important, not too bold, not too cowardly; neatly arranged, with a view of the street of life and with a desire for tangible drama. "
