The Wild Party
Wild girls at a college pay more attention to parties than their classes. But when one party girl, Stella Ames, goes too far at a local bar and gets in trouble, her professor has to rescue her. Gossip linking the two escalates until Stella proves she is decent by shielding an innocent girl and winning the professor's respect.

This movie became Public Domain on 1 January 2025. Clara Bow's first Talkie movie, in which she plays a party-loving college student who falls for her professor (Fredric March). It was also the first use of a 'boom mic', created by the movie's director Dorothy Arzner by placing a mic on the end of a fishing pole.
