Murphy is mistaken by a young woman (played by Jane Lawrence) for a Count she wants to marry.
Dialogue and singing.
"Admiring an Admirer."
Granting that that handicaps Mr. Murphy at the beginning, the visible inexperience of his assistant, Jane Lawrence, in handling a role makes it more difficult. And at the finish, with a song called "It Isn't on the Level" that permits of a burlesque by the two principals, the result is still more dubious. Mr. Murphy does his "Dutch" to laughs for his favorite expressions, while Miss Lawrence's best claims are for appearance and singing "Mr Bird of Paradise," a new swaying ballad that sounds very good.
