 | | Eleanor Boardman, James Murray, Bert Roach, Lucy Beaumont, Freddy Burke Frederick, Alice Mildred Puter |
 | | Vidor uses wide shots of the office (quoted by Billy Wilder in The Apartment), with its endless rows of identical desks and identical young men, all facing the same direction and doing the same thing, to slam home the point that most people in modern society are simply cogs in a huge machine. |
 | | Johnny wants to be something important, but he's not sure exactly how, and he does his best to do the things expected of a young man. He meets a charming young woman, Mary (Eleanor Boardman); they fall in love and get married; they rent an apartment in the city and have two children. |
