Comment
A rich spoiled young lady (Mary Pickford) decides not to go to Europe with her grandfather and instead goes to live in the slums with her father who is writting a book on the sociology of urban slums. As he has little time for her she quickly learns to become street wise. This was the second film released by mary Pickford's own company (First national Attraction) and shows off both her comic and dramatic talents. She is good as the young woman throwing a teenage tantrum and there aer a couple of good chase sequences.
