A rather pallid retread of the sort of marital comedy set among the well-heeled that Cecil B. DeMille was currently making a speciality. It looks good - with the usual immaculately dressed cast and palatial sets of the era - movement throughout which is well staged by pioneer woman director Lois Weber, making good use of doorways and the like; with visual dynamism provided by characters moving not just laterally, but away from, towards and past the camera. But it's extremely routine compared to her remarkable 'Where Are My Children?', made five years earlier.
One advantage silent films had over talkies was that the inter-titles could tip you off what was about to happen and was motivating the characters, as frequently happens here. Considering that it's both written and directed by women, the film gives remarkably short shrift towards Other Woman Mona Lisa, who the titles bluntly announce only does the right thing for selfish reasons, yet is rather at a loss to explain what her sweetly bossy rival Claire Windsor - charming as she is - is actually doing right by comparison. (The 19th amendment granting American women the right to vote having only been ratified by Congress just months earlier, the women attending a political meeting are also treated with surprising condescension: more comfortable discussing clothes than exercising their hard-won right to influence the democratic process.)
