TWINKLETOES
starring Colleen Moore and Kenneth Harlan
PICTURE PLAY
April, 1927
"Twinkletoes" is Colleen Moore's most appealing picture
in a long time. It is less of a romp, and more of a characterization.
It's a Limehouse story, which means fog, sordid villainy, virtue
in a trap, and a pure, pure love. But in this instance it also
means Colleen.
She is Twinkletoes, who dances in the ballet of a Limehouse theater
and against her will falls in love with "Chuck" Lightfoot,
a prize fighter with a wife. Twinkletoes has a father, too,
who is caught in the toils of the law, so that altogether there's
quite a mix-up before Twinkletoes is seen hoeing cabbages for
the final fade-out.
Colleen wears a blond wig in the new picture, and it proves to
be enormously becoming. Kenneth Harlan is Chuck Lightfoot.
