Father Like Son
Home from college, 19-year-old Winston Miller (as Tommy) goes to father Edward Everett Horton's office. Mr. Miller is obviously infatuated with his Dad's fetching secretary Ruth Renick (as Grace Wilson); he runs errands and recites poetry for her. Ms. Renick is unresponsive, showing no romantic interest in the younger man; she is secretly in love with another...
"A Coronet Talking Comedy" by Joseph A. Jackson.
"Ask Dad" is a slight, but well-performed, and well-recorded, "talkie". Mr. Everett Horton performs excellently; he is obviously prepared for a long and successful career in the talking picture field. Casting Winston as his son was wise; on screen, the two actors seem to show a circumstantial family resemblance. Winston, who went on to write and produce, was the brother of more famous Patsy Ruth Miller. Renick was a versatile actress from the teens; like so many, she found good material become rarer with advancing years.
