Dumb Dora Claire Carlton a wannabe Marie Wilson is hitting the casting offices
and hears that a Script Girl is needed. She's done a bit of that before, but that's
spelled s-t-r-i-p however. It gets her in the door and thereby hang the weak
plot of this Warner Brothers Vitagraph short subject.
Which mostly features the work of the forgotten comedy team of Cross and Dunn
as the two do two routines. One involves writing and some familiar melodies
explaining the work of Ibsen, Shaw and Shakespeare. The second is a Smith&Dale type routine involving ordering a hamburger.
Singer Joan Abbott sings and some of Warner Brothers best chorus girls demonstrate the Big Apple. The songs are written by Saul Chaplin and Sammy
Cahn, both of whom wrote better stuff together or in collaboration with
others in the future.
Passably entertaining and at least Cross and Dunne have a record of their work
for posterity.
