It is considered a lost film. PlotA family of wowsers, the McWowses, oppose jazz dancing but are converted to its joys.[1] Several dances are featured, including 'the Walking Waltz', 'the Jazz', 'the Tickle-Toe' and the 'Whirly Whirly'. These were performed by the leads.[2][3] ProductionEthel Bennetto and George Irving were both jazz experts from Sydney who performed the dances in the film.[3] ReleaseDuring the lead up to the film's release, letters from the fictitious characters, the McWowses, would appear in press advertising complaining about jazz.[3] The film is often confused with another jazz comedy, Why Jessie Learned to Jazz, for Australasian Films and director Frederick Ward, which was announced for production but was likely abandoned.[4] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article53874159 |title=EARL'S COURT. |newspaper=The Morning Bulletin |location=Rockhampton, Qld. |date=31 October 1919 |accessdate=24 July 2012 |page=6 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article20385379 |title=THE WORLD OF PICTURES. |newspaper=The Brisbane Courier |date=27 September 1919 |accessdate=24 July 2012 |page=12 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article57964251 |title=Film and Footlights. |newspaper=The Sunday Times |location=Perth |date=14 December 1919 |accessdate=24 July 2012 |page=6 Section: First Section |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^1 2 Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production, Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, 88.
