A double identity comedy with multi-performer George M. Cohan in his first speaking role. And it's a reason why he didn't do many movies. He just didn't have the charisma for it. Here he plays a boring presidential candidate and a vaudeville entertainer who looks just like him. So the bright idea is to have the vaudevillian do the promotional tour to charm the public. Sadly for the movie the real life Cohan comes across more like the boring one regardless which one he plays. Not a success.
