“With this splendid moral picture, in which Fern Andra plays the main role, the film market has received an enrichment in its first-class works. Fern Andra is an extremely versatile actress who is able to give each role a new, unknown nuance and thus increasingly pushes herself and her artists into the ranks of the film favorites.
