This exceptionally rare silent film poster has only surfaced a few times.

This lost 1923 American silent comedy was directed by Jerome Storm. It was an adaptation by Beulah Marie Dix of Harold Brighouse's play Other Times. The cast includes Theodore Kosloff, who was a Russian born ballet dancer, choreographer and actor, together with Eileen Percy, who appeared in sixty-eight films between 1917 and 1933. It was a bright and unusual comedy contrasting two generations, and a film that could be enjoyed by both. A review of the film printed that 'the film allowed viewers to have not only a peek at the modern flapper at her flappiest, but also a glimpse into the family album, showing what would happen if the frilled folks of the past mixed with the silken sweeties of the present.'
