Her Winning Way

Her Winning Way is a silent comedy film directed by Joseph Henabery and starring Mary Miles Minter. The screenplay was written by Douglas Z. Doty, based upon the novel Ann Annington by Edgar Jepson and the play Ann by Lechmere Worrall. As with many of Minter's features, it is thought to be a lost film. Plot As described in various film magazine reviews, Ann Annington (Minter) is a book reviewer working for a magazine publishing firm, who send her to interview author Harold Hargrave (Glass). Hargrave is notoriously reticent and refuses the interview, so Ann decides to obtain the necessary information by other means. Dressing up as a maid, Ann obtains a position in Hargrave's apartment and sets about seducing him, even suggesting that he kiss her in order to be able to write about romance more convincingly. She begins to find out the details that her publishing company wants to know, but she also finds out that she is falling in love with Hargrave.
