For light romantic comedy, silent film had few teams to equal star Constance Talmadge), writer Anita Loos, and her husband, director John Emerson. This picture was one of their several collaborations, and even though it isn't their best, it's still quite amusing. Billie Billings (Talmadge) is a willful young woman who dumps her fiancé because she catches him "comforting" his stenographer. She quickly finds a new beau, Senator Newton (Wyndham Standing), and gets him to marry her in spite of the fact that he is inordinately shy. But then she finds out he has a stenographer, too, and this causes a huge argument. Finally Billie tells Newton to choose between keeping his stenographer or his wife, and he chooses the stenographer.

While writing his screenplay, 'Lipstick', Scott quarrelled with Constance Talmadge, which probably injured its chances, for when it was finished in March it was rejected. Scott had to face the fact that more than his $3,500 advance had already been used up. The Fitzgeralds slunk back east, barely surviving a quarrel over Lois Moran on their journey. In a newspaper article, Moran had revealed she admired philosophers, adored bathing suits (as did Zelda) and her favourite authors were Frederick Nietzsche, Rupert Brooke and Scott Fitzgerald.[8] Patently Scott had spent time on his favourite pursuit: 're-educating' a young woman, giving her reading lists.
