A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The opening scenes of this picture show something of fife in a big department store. Later scenes carry the action into the home life of two of the salesladies, and a fresh love story is introduced. This brings forward, in a very natural way. A promenade of pretty women in pretty gowns, new spring styles, morning gowns, afternoon gowns and evening gowns. This will be interesting to everyone, but will be especially so to the ladies. The story is entirely natural and convincing. It is also very pleasingly acted by Miss M. Snow in the leading role with Miss Flo LaBadie, Mr. Russel and a very good player whose name we don't know. The photography is good. - The Moving Picture World, May 18, 1912
