A Little Ouija Work

Edward Earle and Agnes Ayres are married. An old friend shows up and gets invited to dinner. He also wants Earle to pay some poker debts, but Miss Ayres keeps a tight grip on the checkbook. So a session with the Ouija board is maneuvered to set up a debt to Earle's first wife. This is a surprise to Miss Ayres, who knows of no such thing, and relations cool. But the next day she meets the gambling creditor with his wife, and settles that she wants no money, and things are copacetic... until the stakes are upped.

Figuring out who is what in movies of this era would seem to require a Ouija board. There are at least three adult actors besides the lead couple, and not a clue as to whom; three children perform, and their names are likewise a mystery; and although the IMDb thinks writer A. Van Buren Powell is a woman, he is a man. So that's one mystery cleared up, although how to get a correction done hereabouts is an arcane subject that eludes my grasp.
