Anecdotes
When Marie pulls a lever that sends a chair crashing into the glass in the Reducing Parlor, a huge swastika can be seen on the glass. The Nazis had not yet come to power in Germany when this film was released. The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been associated with good fortune in many cultures for thousands of years. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit word svastika, which means "good fortune" or "well-being".

Citations
Polly Rochay: [as Elmer Truffle snores loudly] Well, I don't know how you could marry a man that snores that way.
Marie Truffle: [laughing] It was too late when I found it out.

Uneven but Funny

Marie Dressler stars as a woman from South Bend, IN who comes east to visit her sister (Polly Moran) who runs a fancy beauty salon. Each sister has a beautiful daughter: Dressler has Anita Page; Moran has snooty Sally Eilers. Dressler has has 2 boys and a failed husband (Lucien Littlefield). The cousins begin scrapping over "catch" William Collier, Jr., while another beau (William Bakewell) mopes around. Before long the sisters are quarreling too. Roscoe Ates is the ticket seller. Sitcom comedy/drama but worth a look for the Dressler-Moran pairing as well as the nice deco sets or Moran's home and salon. This film takes an interesting turn at the end.

Funniest bit is probably Dressler trying to buy train tickets from the stuttering Ates while the long line of people behind Dressler look on. Ates asks her where she wants to go. She finally says New York. Ates asks, "Do you want to go by Buffalo?" After a perfect comedic pause and a few facial twitches she responds, "No, I want to go by train."

And oh, the little boy (the one who gets his foot caught in a spittoon), Jay Ward, grew up to create Rocky and Bullwinkle.
