Probably the most refined on the Pickfords I've seen, possibly besides Rosita but I need to rewatch that at some point. She's definitely pushing her luck trying to play a 12 year-old as a 33 year-old. When she's with adults I buy it, when she's with other 12 year-olds it's very "How do you do, fellow kids." Still, it's adorable and the plot turns out interesting enough.

I don’t think silent films are for me. I was bored to death basically the entire time, and it REALLY didn’t help that this copy had the wrong music put on it. Also, I think this might be the least logged movie I’ve ever seen
