Screen heartthrob Wallace Reid shows little sign of the morphine addiction that would claim his life just two years after the release of this lightweight comedy from Cecil B. DeMille. The fool is out trying to reform wayward women who simply want to take advantage of his generosity while the delectable Gloria Swanson is waiting at home for him, which earns him little sympathy in my book. A pleasant enough example of the kind of sophisticated comedies for which De Mille was known before he went all Biblical - but also quite forgettable.
