West Point is a companion piece to Tell It to the Marines in which William Haines, as a young leatherneck, was bullied, bulldozed, and befriended by tough Sergeant O'Hara, as impersonated by Lon Chaney. Without Chancy, West Point, in which William Haines has his effete and aristocratic intolerance removed by a brisk application of parades, punishments, football games, and polite romance, is a lighter, less consequential comedy. As such, it is blithe, casual, flippant, almost constantly entertaining.
Two Flaming Youths. W. C. Fields playing with a peculiar cigar, making light of his poor little partner, trying to run a circus whose rings are continuously rolling away from him in several directions, is a very funny spectacle indeed. His poor little partner, Chester Conklin, is also funny.
