Directed by Barry Prince

SYNOPSIS:
Mimi Ralston, a wealthy and much-married divorcee, is giving a party in honor of the reputedly formidable parents of her daughter’s fiancé. Typically she engages a stunt “waiter” to insult her guests and, specifically, to spill soup on the stuffed-shirt Calthorpes. But her daughter, Edie, fearing that her mother would never be able to stomach her future in-laws, has hired two actors to impersonate them—which works fine until the real Calthorpes arrive on the scene with their son. Thereafter the mistaken identities (and the fun) proliferate, until all is in a state of hilarious confusion. Fortunately things are eventually set straight, as is Edie—who learns some lessons in love and life which spare her from what could have been a most unhappy fate.

Character breakdown:

  • Mimi Ralston                           the hostess
  • Edith Ralston                          her daughter
  • Clyde Elliot                             her lawyer
  • Jane Elliot                               his wife
  • Mrs. Carlton De Vries (Dody) a guest
  • Lester Calthorpe                      Edith’s fiancé
  • Leland Calthorpe                     his father
  • Eudorra Calthorpe                   his mother
  • Lucy White                              an actress
  • Burt Evans                              an actor
