Dorothy Appleby is best remembered for appearing in comedy films with the Three Stooges, Buster Keaton, and Charley Chase, but her career began on stage and she was a star on Broadway, appearing in YOUNG SINNERS for several years. YOUNG SINNERS was the sort of story that would be associated with Clara Bow today, with Dorothy Appleby playing a flapper in a tale of flaming youth.
