- Quotes
Harry Phillips: Well, I can't go back on the stage because all my clothes are designed for domestic service. And I can't continue in domestic service because all my references point to the fact that I was on the stage. I can't even throw myself in the Thames because I happen to be an extraordinarily good swimmer.

Featured review
Here is a whimsical tale of an out-of-work actress and her other also-situated actors and actresses. Tired of playing the starving artist, she lands the role of maid in a house over-running with thieving employees. She single-handedly cleans up the household, and begins to work on her unloving boss. She soon begins to melt his icy heart, and teaches him the value of things (not money, which he knows too well already).
Her actor friends soon must take on the role of fellow servants, and the rest is hilarious. They over-act their positions, and confuse and confound their new boss.
