A dime novel script if ever there was one, serves its duty as a vehicle for Florence Vidor. Anyone conversant with dime novels will be able to forecast future plot developments without any difficulty until we somewhat hastily come to the climax. I won't spoil it by retailing just how preposterous that climax is, but I guess if the story has drawn you in thus far, you'll probably have no trouble relating to these "exciting" developments which manage to tie up all the strings in the plot. All the romantic hesitations, refusals and agreements are gloriously solved and picturegoers are set free with the certain knowledge that even the richest darlings of Society have problems that money can't buy. Fortunately, Hollywood has decreed that Fate is always on the side of the rich and famous, so no matter how unlikely or absurd, all ends happily for just about everyone.
The players, led by Florence Vidor and Malcolm McGregor go through their motions under the stolid direction of John Ince. At least the cut-down version that has survived and is now available on an Alpha Video DVD moves fast. Even a scene with the heroine and her nanny confidante has been removed.
