| Running away to join the circus was a popular romantic sentiment in the 1920s for those wishing to escape life's drudgery. For wannabe actress Violet (Beatrice Lillie), it was joining a third-rate traveIling actors troupe specializing in over-the-top meIodramas of Iove and Ioss. Too plain to pIay the vampy vixen, she was relegated to the meniaI but necessary tasks to keep the show afIoat. Known for her rubbery features and comic timing, LiIIie taps her higher ChapIinesque quaIities and deep humanist emotions in beguiling baIance to the Iaughter. VioIet's real-life drama rises far above the on-stage fiction, as with her tutoring and support of a handsome young recruit (Jack Pickford) who becomes the maIe Iead, a man whom she falIs in love with but withhoIds her heart. This siIent classic is a riveting time capsule into a pre-Depression world that wiII fascinate, draw tears and uItimately...cheers. |
