A very potent cocktail is the factor which provokes most of the interest one can give to "Reaching for the Moon" at Loew's State. Even in civilian clothes Douglas Fairbanks can not suppress his desire to leap through windows and display his callisthenic ability. Bebe Daniels is the attractive cause of his agitation.
After being permitted to glimpse the inner office of the young financial genius (as indicated, Douglas in plain clothes) and being impressed by large transactions in stock sales made through a selection of innumerable telephones which surround the man, we watch Miss Daniels drawl her way into the sactum sanctorum in order to win a bet. The young wizard is properly upset and so is the financial world. The woman plays with the inexperienced man. The man ends up by following her on board a curious trans-Atlantic liner. A travelling library on the subject of amours, Douglas' valet, mixes a potion that upsets everything. An orchestra plays; the passengers indulge in an intricate ballet and song while ships officers and winches look on in unmoved silence. The usual almost happens then the news of a financial panic makes everything end up as it should. The steamer and its passengers arrive in a fog at Southampton.
The story is unconvincing, the sets as laudable and there are not enough amusing moments in the picture to make a long trip to Loew's State worthwhile.
