This film is a comedy from the stage play by Rachel Crothers.
The film opens in the home of Aunt Louise, where many guests are being tortured by a large female soloist singing "O for the Wings of a Dove." An irreverent listener immediately remarks, "a dove? A Zeppelin couldn’t lift her!"
"Various methods of propelling the camera were used in one scene, William Haines took a long walk through a railroad station. The photographing of that was easy, for the camera was placed on the usual perambulator and pushed along behind him."
"But in another shot, Claire Winddor walked down the aisle of a Pulman coach with the camera following. This presented difficulties because of the narrowness of the
aisle. The ordinary perambulator is about four feet wide, so a special one was suspended from a rail fastened in the roof of the car, to which the camera was attached."
"Another moving shot is a back view of William Haines. It was necessary to have the camera at the same distance from Haines all the way. To accomplish this, Hines himself pulled the moving stand upon which the camera rested, thereby keeping the same distance through the entire scene. The results of those maneuvers were novel and effective."
