Synopsis
Gertie Darling is given a diamond-studded garter by a suitor, Ken Walrick. Having just married Teddy, Gertie seeks to return the garter, bearing a photograph, to Ken, who has also become engaged again. "Between Gertie and her asinine fiancé, Ken and his jealous fiancée, the philandering Jimmy and his jealous wife, the amiable bachelor and his would-be amative aunt, not to mention a knowing butler, ... the laughs are easy and frequent." From Moving Picture World, 19 Feb 1927, p591.

Notes
Avery Hopwood and Wilson Collison's play was also the basis of A Night of the Garter, a 1933 British release, produced by Dominions Film Corp., directed by Jack Raymond and starring Sydney Howard and Winifred Shotter. The 1945 Edward Small Production Getting Gertie's Garter, directed by Allan Dwan and starring Dennis O'Keefe and Marie McDonald was also based on the play.(See AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1941-50).
