Summary
Flaming Youth' is the arresting title of the picture which comes to the Coronet Theatre this evening as the feature attraction. The picture does not belie its name. First, there is the very interesting story adapted from a successful novel; then there is the notably fine action of a cast led by Colleen More [sic]; next there is the finished staging; and finally, there is the skilled photography. Film plot included. The term 'human document' has become stereotyped through repeated use, but it is the term which best describes this picture, which, being essentially human, is bound to have a wide appeal among all classes of cinema-goers.
