Poor Ella Cinders is much abused by her evil step-mother and step-sisters. When she wins a local beauty contest she jumps at the chance to get out of her dead-end life and go to Hollywood, where she is promised a job in the movies. When she arrives in Hollywood, she discoves that the contest was a scam and the job non-existant. But through pluck, luck, and talent, she makes it in the movies anyway, and finds true love. (official distributor synopsis)

This is cuteness itself. If ever a film was described as a modern Cinderella, it was never as real as this. Ella Cinders (or Cinderella) is a domestic slave and yet dreams of her fairy-tale prince... Colleen Moore is adorable as the bundle of misfortune abused by her stepmother and two stepsisters, and even in this modern version she loses her slipper. Beyond that, Moore is also a great comedian, teaching us through an effective guide on how to use your eyes so that one can relate to the film. And she performs Chaplin-esque gags for the young audiences. It’s a wonderful combination. And here comes Harry Langdon at the end. :)
