	TIME.com: The New Pictures -- Mar. 10, 1930 -- Page 1
		Pretty Corinne Griffith talks through her nose in her first sound-picture, playing in a manner saturated with melancholy the role of a young woman who, innocently compromised, has been divorced by her husband.
		All daring stuff when Miss Griffith made Lilies of the Field as a silent picture, the little plot seems mild enough now, and its denouement, in which the girl marries her lover, can be foreseen by the end of the first reel.
		Corinne Griffith's charm is the only thing that gets it over, but it is obvious at times that she is uneasy too, especially at the moment when she has to drop her habitual air of dignified seductiveness to dance a tap routine in tights on top of a piano.

	Corinne Griffith in The Silent Collection by Tammy Stone
		From beauty queen to movie star: this was the trajectory for Corinne Griffith, a silent era starlet lived the dream before it was the dream of every little girl growing up in later decades.
		Corinne was born in Texarkana – you guessed it, Texas – on November 21, 1894, which isn’t to say there’s no dispute over her year of birth.
		So little is known for certain; apparently, Corinne was a virtuous woman who would not smoke or wear make-up in person; nor did she want to be exposed to things like dirty jokes.

	Everson Notes, Huff 12/23/57
		Griffith (who has just returned to the screen in Hugo Haas' Stars in the Backyard) was here at the peak of her popularity, and except perhaps for The Divine Lady (in which she was magnificently photographed by John Seitz) she never looked lovelier.
		Cameraman John Arnold pulls out all the stops (and puts in all the filters) in giving Miss Griffith the A-1 glamour treatment here, although Corinne has an unfortunate habit of manipulating her upper lip to give the (unintended) impression of a sneer, which undoes some of Arnold's magic.
