This gets by, and that's all you can say for it. The plot, like the villages it shows, is full of shell holes. Barthelmess as a lieutenant in "The Blue Devils" deserts to save his gal from a forced marriage. Same old trenches, same marching men. Dick wears a pretty uniform and a Buster Keaton expression. A kind [..]earted firing squad executes him. It's no "Patent Leather Kid." Don't worry if you miss it.
