- A MAN WITH A HOLE IN HIS PANTS (original print ad - all caps)
- OUT OF HOLLYWOOD has come something so fresh, so joyful, so gloriously human and sincere that it cuts a new pattern for the screen. We believe it will sweep to success over-night!
- WHAT MAKES A GREAT PICTURE?...In this case it's a man with a hole in his pants and an empty heart...and two loyal kids who just knew their dad was a great man...and that wonderful, intangible something that makes blood pound faster, brings a lump in the throat, a laugh of gladness, and a precious tear to the eye! Come expecting one of the best pictures you've ever seen!
- The moving, dramatic story of the affairs of a father and his children...told with power, simplicity, humor, charm...a memorable character study...outstanding performances by John Barrymore and two remarkably gifted youngsters. (Print Ad-New York Sun, ((New York NY)) 19 January 1939)
- Two Loyal Children Prove Their Faith in a Father Who Has Drifted Down Stream (Print Ad-Reading Eagle, ((Reading, Penna.)) 25 January 1939)
