"In "Queen of Aces" released through Universal she [Wanda Wiley] appears as an athletic young woman whom her prospective father-in-law characterizes as a he-woman and forbids her to come to a party in his home. Wanda puts on male attire even donning a mustache. Father takes a shine to the "boy" when "he" says the party is too tame and they slip away to a poker party. The place is raided but they make a getaway and there is a general mix- up when the "boy" is seen slipping into a girl's bedroom." - Synopsis via The Moving Picture World

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedic chaos by relying on the classic cross-dressing trope, pushed to absurdity with a mustache and a poker game. It explores gender roles through the lens of pure farce, employing the energetic pacing and gags characteristic of its era.

Those who tire of modern complexities will find a charming, uncomplicated scramble of chases and mistaken identities. What lingers after is the simple, cheerful pleasure of a bygone cinematic romp. — MovieFinder Editorial
