Robertston silent romantic comedy farce ("Adapted From 'Billeted' By F. Tennyson Jesse and H.M. Harwood"; "Scenario by Frances Marion"; "The typewriter used by Miss Burke is a Corona, the personal writing machine"; about a woman who runs up huge bills buying fancy clothes, and to pay her debts, she reports her husband dead, and collects the insurance, but he has not actually died, only left, and she begins renting a room to a bachelor, and her husband returns disguised and rents another room, and she has romantic and legal complications dealing with the two men and a busybody scandalized neighbor!) starring Billie Burke ("By Arrangement with Florenz Ziegfeld Jr."), James Crane, Frank Mills, Madelyn Clare, and Fred Hearn. Billie Burke was a top star who was married to Florenz Ziegfeld, so that explains why she was credited in the above way. And of course, two decades later, she would become Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz! Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them.
