Whispering Whoopee
About Whispering Whoopee
Charley wants to sell a piece of property, so he hires Miss Todd, Miss Garvin, and Miss Brinkman to entertain the buyers. The men who arrive are not the ones he expected, and they start as strictly business. He presents the women as a librarian, a Vassar student, and a music student from Vienna. A whispering game of post office starts, and dinner nearly turns into a fight before the butler calls everyone to the table.
