"Norma Talmadge's marvelous portrayal of this amazing, audacious, heart-winning waif stamps "Kiki" as the famous star's greatest success. "No other actress on the cinema today could play this character with the artistry and faithfulness of interpretation that Norma has put into the role," declares David Belasco, who made the famous stage production of "Kiki" which ran two years on Broadway. Sumptuously screened with a splendid cast including Ronald Colman, "Kiki" presents all the glamour of Paris - all the glitter of behind-the-scenes in a famous French Revue - and a peppy, punchy, smashing, sure-fire story, tense in every scene!"
