Cinema: The New Pictures Jun. 1, 1925

Drusilla with a Million is a big baby picture. Drusilla was an elderly female with gray hair and a collector’s passion for infants. Her impecunious position as a member of an old ladies’ home had hampered her desires these many years. Somebody far away died, and an idle million dollars dropped abruptly into Drusilla’s lap. She began to collect babies. An attempt to break the will and prove her incompetent was launched by attorneys of a disinherited son. The plaintive appeal of Mary Carr makes her a good Drusilla; Most of the babies are good actors. The film makes a big play for laughter and tears and gets a moderate return.
