Description: "The first real 100 percent all talkie produced here understood by Filipinos, Americans and Europeans."
"Singing, dancing, talking Tagalog film."
"This is a different story, there is no eternal triangle or illigitimate children. It is a simple gripping drama, carrying considerable heart interest, suspense, and love, between a brother who was unfortunately blind, and his two sisters, who had been wrongfully accused..."
"...story of advances made to innocent girls to live a life of shame, the pitfalls and offerings to make actresses of young girls but for illicit purposes. The heroine brushes aside these advances and keeps her youth and honor but forges ahead and becomes a great star. We see them in their lowly nipa shack with a sick mother and a blind brother who depend upon them. We see them climb upward on the ladder of fame and finally reach success in that much talked about Little club in Shanghai..." Publication: Tribune (Manila), March 1933
