Reviews

“The Candy Ball is unquestionably the most gorgeous and elaborate sequence of its kind ever placed on the screen. It is the piece de resistance of the film. Everything is done in candy effect. Mammoth candy boxes are used as background, with luxurious pillows in candy shapes, and the members of the orchestra are dressed as lemon sticks.”

– Frank Elliott, The Motion Picture News, January 31, 1925
