Helen's Babies (1924)

Harry (Edward Everett Horton) has written a book on raising children, although in reality he doesn't have any and doesn't really know anything about it, in fact he doesn't really like children! Unfortunately for him he gets put in charge of his two young nieces while their parents are away. Cute antics to follow.

Harry does have some help though in the form of local girl Alice (Clara Bow). The two nieces (Baby Peggy and Jean Carpenter) soon get into trouble as they are pretty wild. Harry soon gets to love the chaos though but maybe loves Alice more...

It is a cute little comedy, a bit insubstantial and twee at times. The cast are great though and put in good performances across the board.
