In this musical comedy, an oddball wife fears that her husband's rich uncle will not like her and therefore disinherit her spouse, so she engages another woman to play her when the uncle comes to call. Songs include: "One Sweet Little Yes," "Clowning," "Beauty Shop," "Am I Blue?," "Let Me Have My Dreams," "My Strongest Weakness is You," (by Grant Clarke, Harry Akst), "Down Among the Sugar Cane" (by Clarke, Charles Tobias), and "So Long Letty" (Earl Carroll).

For those who love Charlotte Greenwood

This early talkie was one of just a couple of films starring the beloved comedienne/long limbed dancer/singer, Charlotte Greenwood. So, this is a curio, for those who want to see her in a major film role, one that she had originally created on Broadway. There are about five songs here, as well, and the print is excellent, especially considering that this film was from 1929. Otherwise, it has little to offer.
