Trivia
On October 17, 1925, The World Premiere of "What Happened to Jones" was presented as the Opening Night feature at the Rialto Theatre in South Pasadena. Searchlights were brought over from Hollywood. Roy Metcalfe, concert organist for the Raymond Theater brought the Wurlitzer to life. And The Rialto Orchestra under the leadership of Rhuel Eno Moulton provided musical accompaniment for the "five snappy acts" of vaudeville and film "What Happened to Jones", starring Reginald Denny. The featured movie star and director came to the show. And the house was packed for opening night... the Rialto Theatre's debut.

Saucy Potboiler

The third screen version of George Broadhurst's 1897 farce serves as a lightweight vehicle for a dashing young Reginald Denny with the usual shenanigans as he tries to prevent lady love Marian Nixon from marrying chinless wonder William Austin

Otis Harlan has as more substantial role than usual, Zasu Pitts a much less substantial one than usual; and I would like to have seen more of Nina Romano, who also largely drops out of the action after making an initially rather saucy first appearance clad only in a towel in a Turkish bath.
