CHILDREN OF DIVORCE
Starring Clara Bow and Gary Cooper
SCREENLAND
July, 1927

"Find the missing "It" in this picture. Has Clara Bow got "It"? Has Gary Cooper -- or Esther Ralston? Get in the game. Try to find "It". I give up. "Children of Divorce" only goes to show that a man never gets anywhere if he lets things slide -- unless he's a trombone player. And of course Gary Cooper isn't. Why not? Don't be silly -- a hero is never a trombone player. Gary's a millionaire. All wrapped up in Esther Ralston -- and she's wrapped up in him, too, in several scenes. But there's no satisfying some girls. She wants him to go to work to win her. All right -- he will. He starts off fine -- and then he slips. And, of course, Clara Bow is the beautiful banana peel. First thing he knows, he's married to Clara. That wouldn't worry most heroes, but Gary is different. Or maybe Clara is different. You'll have to figure that out for yourself. This picture is just a polite prize-fight between the two girls with Gary as the prize.
