Reception

Photoplay Magazine was unenthusiastic in its review of Broadway Scandals: "If this picture appeared six months ago, it would have looked better, for it is a late entrant in the line of love stories back of the theater curtain." Egan and Myers did well in their roles, while "Sally O'Neil tries hard."[3]

gollark: Spread unchecked, no.
gollark: Until last week I still had to go to school and such, but they closed it. The online learning thing really is not that good.
gollark: 5 days here.
gollark: Because we do, in fact, need to produce things.
gollark: We could stop COVID-19 from spreading if we forcibly confined everyone to their homes or something. But this would be a terrible idea.
