Comment
The girls at an all girl college are more interested in partying than learning, until a hansom new professor (Fredric March) arrives at the college. Clara Bow is the most wild of the girls, but her illicit relationship with a teacher threatens both of their careers. The films reflects socialte life in the late 1920's and the scene with Clara Bow and two other girls entering a party doing a conga wearing sparkling bathing suits shows this is a pre-code film as does the fact that the heroine is clearly sleeping around. This is notable as the talkie film from Clara Bow. The film does has its weak parts, but it does also show off Clara Bow's talents as an actress.
