Mary Gray (Mary Astor) elopes to Atlantic City, N.J., but begins having second thoughts about the marriage. Then she becomes inexplicably locked in her hotel room, and a series of cops, robbers and kidnappers passes through. Desperate, Mary trusts the shifty chambermaid, Clara (Natalie Moorehead), who whisks her away to the mansion of wealthy George Blaine (Lloyd Hughes). There, Mary must pretend to be a lowly cook, but that seems better than sticking with the guy she was engaged to.

Steve D They haven't figured out dialog for film yet but Astor gives it a spark. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Recommended for historical reasons and for seeing Mary Astor in one of her earliest "talkie" parts. Nothing really works here -- and this is indicative of most of the year "1930" talkies, a new medium just finding its way. By 1931, the average movie was noticeably better. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
