A rich guy rents an entire Broadway show to impress a girl — 1930s flex culture was WILD.
Minimum plot. Maximum stars of early cinema. Rich young Conrad Sterling (William Collier Jr.) is in love with struggling actress Mary Mason (Miriam Seeger). To prove his love, he hires Mary and the entire company of the show in which she is appearing to entertain his weekend guests at his lavish mansion.

Genuinely lavish house-party sets that scream 'we spent the budget here.'
Acting
El Brendel's Swedish-dialect comedy — dated, yet weirdly committed.
