      Archie: Oh, by Jove, glad you mentioned it, old boy. She wrote and asked me down on Saturday. Said, eh, said she was having some friends for the week-end.

      Tom Ingleside: Yes?

      Archie: Eh, oh, eh, oh, eh, look here, dear old boy, I, I, I shouldn't have told you that. Eh, this puts me up the pole, most frightfully.

      Tom Ingleside: How's that?

      Archie: Eh, your mother said it was to be a surprise.

      Tom Ingleside: Well, that's alright. I won't let you down. I'll be surprised.

      Archie: That's awful descent of you, old boy. Awfully! Well, I must be toddling. See you on Saturday! Toodle-loo.

    young doug fairbanks junior
    21 year old douglas fairbanks jr, and very early roles for rose hobart and anthony bushell. Period piece, london 1914. When the ingleside brothers get a three day leave during the first world war, they fall for the same girl. At a dance, they both tell molly they love her. She seems to really be in love with one, but in the heat of war, people will say anything to get by. And molly didn't want to hurt either of them. The intrigue. Who will survive? Who will find love? Pretty simple story... and it's been remade several times. Smaller role for tyrell davis, who only acted in 38 films, but stole the scene in so many of them. Filmed in the glorious days between the two wars. Imdb tells us the beach scenes were filmed in oregon! Seems like a long way to go for one minute on the beach. Directed by allan dwan. It's pretty good. Interesting mostly because it's an early role for fairbanks junior. Side note...he was married to joanie crawford when he made this!
