Social critique on how conscious the poor are and how unconscious the rich. Done mostly in a mildly humerus way, but Lois Weber always has to add a hard reality to her social films, focusing on torn old clothes and holed shoes. Thankfully she doesn't go that far here. I feel The Blot (1921) would have worked a lot better as the straight comedy it looked to be at first, for the way it comes across toward the end is too much like preaching.

One of the few surviving films directed by Lois Weber, a woman in a man's profession. It's easy to see why most of her work was lost and it's hard to figure out why mankind ever let a woman direct after her.
