"At Ellis Island" Gertrude Wolf does a splendid bit of "color work" as the immigrant wife. The picture is startlingly true to type, and she plays the part with a touch of grimy realism, immensely effective.
The erstwhile Hebrew comedian has not entirely freed himself from all the earmarks of his old specialty, but he puts a vast amount of feeling and sincerity into the Italian characterization, and realizes the conviction many of his admirers have had that he is a character actor of ability.
