Lighthearted but Shallow: 1Up's Take on Women in Gaming

With a little-known director and second-string cast, the two-reel Moonlight Nights is typical of these low-budget independent productions.

No guest proves safe from Art’s clumsy antics, but the shapely cabaret performers, led by Mademoiselle Fifi (Gloria Joy), dance on in the ensuing chaos.
