A rare chance to see an early comedy short by a director Ernst Lubitsch, widely regarded as one of cinema’s all-time greats.

In this raucous, flirtatious film, a boisterous teenage girl (Ossi Oswalda) becomes so tired of being bossed about she decides to pose as a man on a night out to see if it’s more fun, only to discover that while it does have its high points it also results in complications.
