Norma Shearer plays two roles here. One is Florence Benning who was bought up in a privileged life. The other is the polar opposite--Molly Helmer who is introduced leaving reform school! She's dating nice but stupid Chunky Dunn (George K. Arthur). Then Molly meets handsome David Page (Malcolm McGregor) who likes her...as a friend. He then meets Florence and falls for HER! It ends pretty predictably.
This is well-done. There are quite a few nice directorial touches her and there and Shearer is great in BOTH roles...but there's nothing new here. It was done before and has been done since. This one at least DOES run quick (a little over an hour). It's also fun to see Shearer in a silent picture--I thought she only did talkies! So worth catching for Shearer fans but no great shakes.
