Synopsis
" Blue Skies is Fox's kid version of Over the Hill . It's about an orphan asylum instead of a poorhouse, with none of the tears the adult orphan picture possessed. ... Youngsters occupy a reel with close-ups and ice cream. Hack situations of turning the hose on the matron, the fat boy getting a licking by the little boy for eating the tiny girl's ice cream--they're all in it. Then of a sudden it's Frank Albertson wearing overalls and Helen Twelvetrees, the girl. The kids around them are still as young as they were in the first reel, excepting one or two. A rich daddy visits the home and Frank changes his foundling dress for that of the girl's. Off she goes to the wealthy home. Of course a year later an identification card is found, but Frank satisfies daddy and the girl. Marriage does it." ( Variety 17 Jul 1929, p. 53.)
