C. W. Bell and Mark Swans risqué three-act farce opened at the Republic Theatre on 24 December 1917 for 232 performances, produced by A. H. Woods. Angelica Irving is titillated to think that her mild-mannered husband, Reggie, has been a ladies' man prior to their marriage. Reggie, fearing she will be disappointed, writes love letters to himself from fictional "other women." Chaos ensues and Angelica is satisfied that her image of Reggie is what she hoped. A silent motion picture version appeared in 1920, remade in 1931 as a "talkie" starring Buster Keaton.
