HER SISTER FROM PARIS
Starring Constance Talmadge and Ronald Colman
PHOTOPLAY
November 1925

It's a bad, naughty story by Hans Kraly of a dull wife who wins back her indifferent husband by posing as her dashing twin sister. Not exactly new, but so funny and so charmingly acted that you forgive all its waywardness. The dual role is wonderfully handled by Constance Talmadge. We usually object to dual roles, but Constance is skillful enough to ge away with it. And Ronald Colman distinguishes himself in a comedy part. Any fellow can be handsome, with Nature's help, but it takes brains to be amusing. George V. (sic) Arthur is great as the "keeper of the monocles and marmalade at the British Embassy."

It's all around entertainment, which you must be sure to see, but also be sure that the children stay home and do their homework.

It's a light, airy, frolicsome tidbit of romance which prances and dances across the silversheet here to the accompaniment of the triangle. It's a bubble that gives evidence of bursting any minute, it is so slight and preposterous. But thanks to Sidney Franklin's adroit handling of the comedy, it never breaks, but catches instead a rich supply of twinkling lights which color it with real personality. So it keeps a-going. Constance Talmadge plays the dual role of the sedate wife and the giddy twin sister with spirited abandon. It is sophisticated and a little naughty. But it never oversteps the bounds of good taste. Ronald Colman, as the chap who falls in love with his own wife, shows a comedy gift that establishes him as genuinely versatile. George K. Arthur also plays the boobish friend in a provokingly funny vein.
