Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter in Daddy Long Legs

Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter star in the Fox romantic comedy Daddy Long Legs premiering at the Princess theatre. The film blends humor and tender drama as an orphaned girl is sent to college by a sympathetic trustee who falls in love, with Alfred Santell directing a strong supporting cast enjoyably led by Una Merkel and John L. Sixel—Arledge shows promise as a juvenile. The review praises the cast, direction, and audience enthusiasm, noting it may become a major box office hit of the year. The piece also contains community notices about church activities and leadership roles connected to a local young people’s group.
