A.B. is the brains and power behind the Bancroft paint business, but
longs for a more feminine role. She overhears the boss's grandson
(Jimmy) unflattering opinion of her lack of charms, she's hurt.
Jimmy's grandmother takes her under her wing and does a major her
over, and teaches her to flutter her eyelashes and only say the two
phrases to win a man: "Do go on!" and "Aren't you wonderful?". Snitz
Edwards turns in his usual sterling performance. This is an
enjoyable film chronicling one more skirmish in the war of the
sexes.
A great light hearted
comedy featuring Leatrice Joy (Mrs. John Gilbert).
