The story is by Avery Hopwood, and the picture is an adaptation of the most successful farco ever presented. on the American stage. Its run in New York for over two years, and elswhere for fully as long, and its extended vogue in London, pronounced it that. It stars May Allison, easily one of the most captivating of screen comediennes. The story concerns the tribulations of two young married couples. In one case the young wife complains that her husband, Billy, is so perfect that he is dull; and in the other case the young husband, although he adores his wife, employs just the tactics Billy should take advantage of. He keeps his wife guessing, and when circumstances cast together Billy and the apparently neglected Blanny, the result is one of the most absurdly funny series of situations ever contrived.
