This stylish Art Deco designed poster was created for this silent film, and is incredibly rare. It has only surfaced a couple of times.


This lost American silent comedy was directed by Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast, and stars Florence Vidor, Albert Conti, Loretta Young, Matty Kemp, Marietta Millner and Ned Sparks. It tells the tale of how Count D'Estrange attempts to save his nephew Hubert from Denise Laverne, who he feels is an uncaring flirt. However her extremely likeable mother intervenes and successfully sorts things out. The Count falls for Denise's mother, and the two couples go on honeymoon to Venice!
