Reception
'Photoplay Magazine' was unenthusiastic in its review of 'Broadway Scandals': "If this picture appeared six months ago, it would have looked better, for it is a late entrant in the line of love stories back of the theater curtain." Egan and Myers did well in their roles, while "Sally O'Neil tries hard."Kreuger, Miles ed. 'The Movie Musical from Vitaphone to 42nd Street as Reported in a Great Fan Magazine' (New York: Dover Publications) p 127.
