Type:
“AWest Point cadet (Dewitt Newing), comes to the home of his cousin, Margery Harrison (Miss Black), on lovemaking bent in violation of the Academy’s rules. The inopportune arrival of Lieutenant Masters (Thomas Wending) on the same mission forces the cadet to hide behind the piano” Miss Black does not make her character sweet or coy.
Too talky and runs into uncovincing farcial situations. "Most of the humor grows out of occasional sneeze from behind the piano and the efforts of Margery to prevent the lieutenant from investigating."
"A West Point Regulation" by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews
