Comedy Bits

Warning: Spoilers
Mary Pickford and her director, Alfred Green -- her brother Jack is also credited as co-director, but it's hard to say how involved he actually was -- did this movie as a comedy with a few serious bits. Miss Pickford is charming in the early scenes in Belgium, in which she gets a particularly stubborn mule to go home, and cleans a floor by strapping brushes to her feet like skates. But World War One intervenes and sends her on the road towards the plot, which is OK, even if no one else is called upon to do much. One of Bobby Harron's brother plays the romantic boy, Adolph Menjou and his mustache get to pose and middle-aged husbands are portrayed as dangerous fools.

Not one of Miss Pickford's best, but her charm manages to carry it off well.
