Gloria was such an underrated comedienne!
Her performances in this movie, "Teddy at the Throttle" and "Manhandled" prove she was great in comedy, as well. The only hint I used to have was the amazing Chaplin parody in "Sunset Boulevard", but I would have never suspected Ms. Swanson did comedy -and how!- in the silent period. Another good reason to love her all the more.
