Comment
A wealthy business man (Walter Connolly) who is ignored by his family (Veree Teasdale) on his birthday and bored with his business meets an unemployed woman (Ginger Rogers) in the park and employs her to pretend to be his mistress to stir up his family. This is an entertaining comedy of social class and financial differences. Ginger Rogers is good in the lead role showing off her acting and comedy skills.
