To see the talented Pola Negri lending her charming presence to a photoplay daubed with broad comedy gives one quite a shock. Yet this is what happens in her new picture, A Woman of the World, which for the most part is genuinely entertaing, despite the sudden jumps from  buffoonery to drama. As the idea has been handled, it is disappointing to behold Miss Negri in this vehicle, because it could have been fashioned into a dignified and telling story. It was suggested by Carl Van Vechten, a novel, The Tattoed Countess, and concerns a titled woman, who consented to have the crest of a fickle swain tattooed on her forearm, coming to a small town in the United States. There is plenty to make one laugh in this production, but if the comedy were of higher tone and had been drawn more adroitly, it would have made the subject much more worthy. Miss Negri is just as stunning and as conscientious as in any of her other pictures. Holmes Herbert is satisfactory as the District Attorney, and Dot Farley and May Foster are splendid as the chief gossipers of Maple Valley.
