How Could You, Jean?
1918, English. Directed by William Desmond Taylor.
The life of a kitchen maid shouldn't be all stew and spuds and onions. There's nothing heavenly about hash.
A lost Film. Mary Pickford plays a socialite who, having lost her fortune, takes a job as a Swedish cook. She falls in love with a chauffeur who, lo and behold, is a slumming millionaire.
