Hope Hampton, star of Stardust, the First National picture at the American theatre, doesnt like vamp parts at all, because, she says, she doesnt know that kind of woman. I like to play the kind of woman I want to be myself, she says, and I just love the part I have in Stardust. Its that of a country girl, you know. I felt just too funny the first time I saw myself on the screen, because the man who had to make me up put some funny kind of paint all over my face.

In the chase Max falls from a fence and is knocked unconscious. Then he .dreams that he is already married, but the crabbed aunt remains very much in the plot, causing a series of complications. There are a wife and husband who suspect each other of flirting. These incidents are set in a clever setting, a dressmaking establishment which, by pressing a button can be turned into a fashionable cafe where there is no respect for the Volstead law. A trick setting of Linders own invention makes this a most ingenious piece of business. Just as the marital differences are all settled, Max awakes to find that he is not married at all, so he sets out anew on the task of winning his girl. One of the tricks he uses to convince her of his bravery is to discover an imaginary burglar in her home.
