Her Winning Way (1921)

Ann Annington, book reviewer for a metropolitan newspaper, is assigned to interview author Harold Hargrave. Knowing that Hargrave has resisted previous attempts, Ann obtains a position in his apartment as a maid and resolves to break up his engagement to Evangeline, a girl chosen for him by his mother. She plants ladies' garments about his room and hairpins in the bed, and Evangeline is indignant. Discovering he has been tricked, Hargrave dismisses Ann. That evening they realize their mutual love, with the result that she does not report the details of his private life to the press.
