Ask Father; He'll Say No
Bobby Vernon is an artist. He's painting cheesecake pictures down by the shore, when Patricia Palmer shows up. They quickly fall in love -- this is a one-reeler, after all -- but her father hates artists. He unbends sufficiently to agree to let the couple marry if Bobby paints a picture good enough for him to buy.... which he has no intention of doing, of course.
This Christie comedy is, typically for Christies of this period, a rather mild affair, but it's eked out nicely with a bevy of beauties who frolic unconvincing in one-piece bathing suits and some decent acting. Al Christie was still holding out against pure slapstick; as a result, his productions were continuing to lose ground against Sennett-style and he would lose distribution for a while. Within a couple of years he would give up the fight, retreat to the business office and leave the writing and direction to others.
Nonetheless, this is a very pleasant little comedy, carried on the acting and charms of the heads. And all those girls in bathing suits, of course.
