      Audience Member good version of this but I prefer the 1946 re-make Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasantly enjoyable. Nice little part by Louise Brooks. A nice time capsule. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A charming light comedy about this office worker who is painful show off & all of hilarious consequences. Not a very important film but simple & charming. An early vehicle by silent phenomenon Louise Brooks who went on to some amazing films. It's got some beautiful footage of early Philadelphia & has some solid acting despite its predictable ending...the typical all's well that ends well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent silent film. Louise Brooks is always great but this one was just alright. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a pretty good comedy, it's got a couple of really funny scenes, and the actors are pretty good, but the story is predictable especially the ending.
