Society Fever

The decade has not been kind to the family since their father died. All they have left is a huge house, and no money to keep it up. Still, they do maintain a certain place in society, and Hedda Hopper and her family is coming for dinner. Only how will they feed them?

It's a cut-rate version of Dinner At Eight, with an assortment of eccentric relatives bedeviling oldest sister Lois Wilson, who is too proud to accept help from go-getter Lloyd Hughes. He has plans to build a factory on their land, but there's no cash for the project, and she won't accept charity. It's a fairly good drama with a cat that includes Guinn, 'Big Boy' Williams, Grant Withers, George Irving, Sheila Terry and Maidel Turner, but the real issue is when they are going to face reality and go to work.
