...Army when deserted by a traveling salesman, later having a reunion with her lover when she tried to convert him. This aspect of the story has been overlooked in the cinema, which tells a plain and not particularly stirring case-history of a girl who misbehaves, reforms, reverts to misbehavior, then to reformation. Much of the action takes place in a small-town hotel where traveling salesmen are shown engaged in chores and recreation. Particularly partial to the latter is an aged, bald-headed casket vendor (Guy Kibbee). He chuckles quietly when a lady drinks herself unconscious, employs the absurd...
...finally reappeared last week, 23 years old and slightly heavier about the stern, as a wheedling soubrette whose bad habits included nasal babytalk, semidipsomania and an appetite for carnal misbehavior.

...role of Joyce Stanton who, while trying to conceal the pregnancy of the iceman's fiancee, causes herself to be suspected of a similar predicament. She is engaged to an elderly banker but more interested in one of his clerks. When both are discouraged by rumors of her misbehavior, she marries the family solicitor who has behaved more generously in the apparent emergency. Far funnier than the almost morbidly polite comicalities supplied by this situation are those contributed by the iceman (James Gleason) and Marie Prevost as a maid-of-all-work whose comments are ponderous, amazing.

...national corporation. Retail sale would occur through branches of the State corporation to citizens holding permit books. Nothing could be drunk on the premises. Prices uniform everywhere would be fixed by the national corporation scaling upward in proportion to the alcoholic content of the beverage. Drunkenness or misbehavior would be grounds for revoking a citizen's permit book. Purchases would not be solicited; liquor would not be advertised...
