Lederer and starring Marion Davies, Joseph Kilgour, and Matt Moore.

Written by Davies herself, the film was given a three-month publicity campaign before its release. However critics felt that the film's dramatic storyline didn't showcase Davies as well as her Broadway comedy roles.<ref>Ward p.35</ref>
