Piccadilly starts off slow, but Anna May Wong not only steals the show but retains enough sex appeal to become a sex symbol today. She is absolutely beautiful. When Mabel pulls out a gun Anna May Wong uses great facial expressions to show she is scared and will fight back at any cost. She was given second billing in this cast; everyone else can be forgotten but her.
