Perhaps not quite good enough to actually get the 3 1/2 stars I'm giving it. On the negative side, there are simply a few too many scenes padding this film, seemingly to make it a long enough story. On the positive side, those scenes, however unnecessary, are still charming, and a showcase for Olive Thomas' charm and charisma. So, it's a wash. I liked it. Olive's acting chops seemed to get better with every film she made.
