i have see marion davy in a couple of movie and really couldn not understand her appeal . she couldn not dance for peanut and she do not attempt to sing and a for her act she seem in a trance . but i hadn not see her silent comedy and this film be wonderful . rather than kid her own image and a have be suggest here and to me it seem a satire on gloria swanson and who do start off in slapstick comedy and go on to highly emotional woman picture and do end up marry a count . marion and a top mimic and also do a funny rabbit imitation whenever she want to be see a grand and that be gloria swanson spot on . colonel pepper ( dell henderson ) have motor all the way from georgia to hollywood and determine to prove that his daughter and peggy and ( marion davy ) will be the great star ever . their hope dwindles and they be down to their last 40 cent when they meet billy boone ( william haines ) who work at the slapstick studio and promise to get peggy a job . peggy think she be go to be a great dramatic actress but the studio think she be a fantastic comic . they convince her to make the film and at the preview she be a great success . charlie chaplin asks for her autograph but she doesn not recognise him and treat him pretty rudely . who be that short little guy when she find out she faint . peggy and billy get a call from high art studio but only peggy be want and suddenly she be on her way . there be a funny scene where she see a star she doesn not think much of it marion davy . she finally get a chance of be a dramatic actress but she can not cry . it be a hilarious scene a the director try everything to get her to cry and when he succeed and she can not stop . her new leading man and andre ( paul ralli ) convince her to forget her comedy past and become elite and sophisticated she even adopt a new name patricia pepoire . she also seem to have forget billy and her dad she have develop a star personality . when the slapstick studio pick the same location a patricia movie and billy be thrill to see her but quite unprepared for her snobby attitude . when she call him a cheap clown he realise that she be not the girl he once know . after a studio luncheon ( a magnificent pan shot of some of the great star of the day ) patricia get a call from the bos . it seem her film be a flop and no theatre want to book them the public be tire of her mannerism and want the old peggy back . she and andre decide to get married and she dream of be a countess ( even though billy say that andre use to serve him spaghetti in a little cafe downtown and be no more a count than he be ) . on her wedding day and billy visit and after a hilarious custard pie fight she realise that billy be the one for her . it be amaze to see all the guest star john gilbert be see go through the mgm gate and lew cody be talk to elinor glynn and who not only write it but several racy romance that be make into mgm movie . william haines and another actor whose movie i have always want to see and be great especially in the cafeteria scene and he have wonderful comic timing . harry gribbon be hilarious a the comedy director there be so many hilarious scene in this film and marion be at the top of them all i be give this film positive . highly and highly recommend .
