“Story depicts the worries of a young girl whose parents suddenly become rich and neglect her as they try to break into society. Sending out invitations to a ball, the girl instead of mailing them, throws them in the river. Parents are then seen in their palatial mansion waiting in vain for guests who never appear. Parents eventually consider the lack of guests a snub and give up their climbing.  As can be expected from the German affiliations of the productions, film is decidely Germainc in settings, and in some directional tricks, such as the parade of uniformed flunkies previous to the ball. Highlight is the acting by Danielle Darrieux in her first appearence on the screen. Marguerite Pierry, who does the poor relative, is a good comedienne, but the rest of the women are merely fair”.
