REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., April 23, 2002
In this story about love and social class, Pickford plays the virginal cigarette girl at the Cyclone Cafe, who finds her high society mate when he's decked in a barroom brawl and she takes him home to be patched up by her scrubwoman mama in their Lower East Side tenement. Love and laundry soon follow.
