Du Barry Did All Right (1937) Online

Aristocratic Frenchwoman Irene Wainwright is hosting a formal party. Conspicuously absent is her husband, good old southern boy John Wainwright, who would rather gamble with his friends. As he refuses to ditch his gambling and as she feels compelled to lie to her guests about the reason for his absence, she, to teach him a lesson, decides to head to New York without him to have some fun. Her scheme is that he will send her money just to placate her, as she has no money of her own. So when he doesn't show up and when he eventually telegrams that he is not sending her money, she has to limit her spending and stall those to who she owes money. John has a plan of his own for his wife, while she comes up with a scheme of her own to deal with her moneyless situation while not kowtowing to John.

A Vitaphone Broadway Brevity.

When her American husband neglects her, a French wife remembers that DU BARRY DID ALL RIGHT financially after acquiring a powerful lover...

Corsican stage star Irene Boldoni (1895-1953), in a rare film appearance, is pert & spunky in the leading role in this fast-moving short subject. Novelty dancers Eddie Noll & Marian Nolan prove they are limber to an amazing degree. Waiter Charles Carrer does some eye-popping juggling tricks with wine glasses & bottles. Movie mavens should spot an uncredited Percy Helton as a hotel desk clerk.

After appearing in a handful of silent films - he's best remembered as Abraham Lincoln in D. W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915) - Joseph Henabery (1888-1976) moved behind the camera. During the next 25 years he would direct 83 films, of which this was one.

Operettas were idea subject matter for early talky two-reelers. They were swiftly paced, colorful (even in black & white) and rather cheap to produce, utilizing as they did the sets & costumes of feature films. Their brief length negated any need for character exposition and the stories were easy to follow, even when sung by heavily accented voices. Best of all, they were full of Sound, and that was still enough of a novelty to keep most audiences from becoming overly critical or expectant of anything smacking of real art.
