Moonlight Nights

1925 · 25 min

A featherlight silent slapstick romp of pratfalls and cabaret chaos, easy to watch and gone in a blink.

Directed by
Sherwood MacDonald
Genres
Comedy
Starring
Gloria Joy, Max Asher, Joe Moore
Overview
With a little-known director and second-string cast, the two-reel Moonlight Nights is typical of these low-budget independent productions. The comedy’s plot is not much: Told by his exasperated father to find a job, a klutzy rich kid named Art (Joe Moore) follows a bevy of dancers to their nightclub, where he tricks the maître d' into hiring him as a waiter. No guest proves safe from Art’s clumsy antics, but the shapely cabaret performers, led by Mademoiselle Fifi (Gloria Joy), dance on in the ensuing chaos.
