Another film in which Frances Marion evidently prevailed over Hearst. Her script with dialogue by Anita Loos showcases Davies as comedienne in a backstage comedy about a poor girl who makes it as a Ziegfeld Follies star-with added income from the proverbial elderly admirer who sets her up with apartment and clothes. She is in love with Robert Montgomery, as is her best friend (Billie Dove). (Both Davies and Dove were Ziegfeld girls in their pre-movie days.) Incidental comedy is provided by ZaSu Pitts and Jimmy Durante, the latter popping in irrelevantly and irreverently, doing his "disa and data" routines and impersonating John Barrymore to Davies's Greta Garbo in a wonderful spoof of Grand Hotel, which also happens to have been directed by Goulding.
