(Flash Review)
Not much has changed in 100+ years since this film was first show. Many people still dream of living like the upper class. This is the case of two young regular-class people who work at the 'notions counter' (ha, so classic) of a department store. Each not knowing each other, set off to spend a luxurious week pretending to be wealthy at a summer resort. Their paths cross while in their faux façade and they hit it off. How long can they hide their true social status from each other? What quirky scenarios will entangle their pretend personalities? For this era, the film quality is pretty good and the story was told with minimal title cards. A fun twist here and there but I felt too many scenes seemed to drag. Always fun to see life during that time period.
