That Model from Paris

Simple story of young woman (Marceline Day) who gets a job as a French model. The problem is she's not French. It's all a pose, a clever idea by the manager of a fashion house when the real French model doesn't show up. It's also a favor to a wealthy patron. Of course she meets a handsome man (Bert Lytell) but has to maintain the ruse of being French and not speaking English.

Things come to a head when Lytell discovers she is "under obligation" to the other guy and that Lucette is really just plain Jane Miller. Will the mix-up be settled? Will love win out? Slight story is well handled and Day is quite charming. Lytell (at 41 years of age) is a tad long in the tooth, but seems to pull it off. Eileen Percy plays the pal, Ward Crane plays the cad, Arthur Hoyt plays the manager. Otto Lederer plays Katz with the usual Jewish schtick intertitles of broken English. And Miss Dupont plays Lila.

Highlights include the fashion show of outrageous "Paris gowns" that drip fringe, fur, and spangles, and the funny scene at the restaurant where everyone keeps speaking French to the poor dear and she ends up with a surprise meal.
