But the heroine here is Shirley Mason, forgotten today, but a silent cinema actress who got her start as a child star for Thomas Edison back in 1910. One of three actress sisters (Viola Dana and Edna Flugrath), she would retire in 1929. She is bright and enthusiastic as a leading lady but overall, this love triangle between her, a boxer & a meek dress designer is generally played more straight than for laughs; although in several shots, male lead William Collier seems to be copying Harry Langdon’s best mug shots. In fact, the film might have been originally talented for Langdon’s style of comedic character.
