DOOMSDAY
starring Gary Cooper and Florence Vidor
PHOTOPLAY
April, 1928
At last Florence Vidor shakes off the great lady manner, the coy sophistication, the tea-and-toast comedy tricks. Miss Vidor emerges as an artist and proves that she has something real to give to the screen. In this fine, intelligent story, she plays a household drudge. Although she loves Arnold Furze, played by Gary Cooper, he can only offer her the further drudgery of a farmer's wife. So she marries a rich neighbor. And then comes the drama.
Rowland V. Lee has made an absorbing picture. Women, especially,
will like it because they will see in it their own problems, their
own mistakes. And admirers of Miss Vidor who have seen her fading
into a genteel feminine version of Adolphe Menjou, will be glad
to know that being a star hasn't made her forget how to act.
