Not one of Langdon's funniest outings, although I feel it would have been so, if Vernon Dent had played the Blackie Dawson role. There is nothing like that same rapport here between Langdon and Christian Frank.
Another problem is the slapstick drag scene which is allowed to run too long, even though it has a number of choice moments including the bit in which helpful Harry offers to remove a streamer from a matronly dancer's back.
Another letdown is that, despite a great intro and her second billing, Eugenia Gilbert's role turns out to be disappointingly small. To compensate, Sennett has fleetingly filled out the passenger list and surrounded Langdon with lots of well-dressed Bathing Beauties at the ship's Fancy Dress Ball.
Directors Jones and Edwards handle all the proceedings with competence and even a modicum of style.
