Reception
The Moving Picture World, 1916
Susie Snowflake at the Broadway.
Ann Pennington, the celebrated little Ziegfeld Follies star, made her motion picture debut in the Famous Players production, Susie Snowflake, at the Broadway theater. There is something irresistibly appealing about "Susie," and Miss Pennington has caught the charm of the little dancer who scandalizes her maiden aunts and sets a whole town agog when she brings her Broadway ideals into the community. But there is a lot of real character and unswerving loyality in "Susie," as she proves when she is put to the test. The usual weekly news, colored scenics, educational studies, short comedies and cartoons round out the bill.[4]
