Trivia
A Jewel Production. Universal, which did not own its own theater network like many major studios, devised a 3-tier brand system to sell its product: Red Feather (low budget programmers), Bluebird (mainstream) and Jewel (prestige pictures produced to command higher roadshow ticket prices). This brand system would fade away in late 1929.

An almost perfect comedy.

An unalloyed comedy delight. Laura La Plante kicks up her heels as Frances, a shopgirl who closely resembles big movie star Daphne Dix, and as the impetuous movie star herself. One night when the star is frolicking aboard a millionaire's yacht when she should be attending the big premiere of her latest film, her studio's press agent spots Frances and offers her $1,000 to pose as Miss Dix at the premiere and throw a few kisses to her loyal fans. The deception works, but it also leads to several humorous complications that keep this frothy comedy bubbling until the final fade-out.
