Not a Goof
17 December 2006
You report as a goof that Carlotta Vance (Marie Dressler) first tells Oliver Jordan (Lionel Barrymore) that she sold her stock to a Mr. Baldridge but moments later says it was a Mr. Bainbridge.

When Vance first tells Jordan the name, she has to look at the check to get the name. When Jordan is on the phone, she states the name as she remembers it and the two differ.

The change in the name is not a goof but a wonderfully done Dressler moment showing that her character, after downing a large glass of whiskey, neat, that she is more than a bit addled.

It was so marvelously done that she fooled even the IMDb staff!

Hurrah, Marie. Well done!
