Mike said:
In this Douglas Fairbanks comedy, there are only two named females, the hero's love interest Lucette Bancroft ("a wild flower from Oklahoma - transplanted by Art to a hothouse studio in the wilds of New York City's Greenwich Village") and her roommate Bobby De Vere ("a daylight Bohemian - whose chief contribution to art is her bobbed hair').

They have a couple of brief, minor exchanges (a greeting, talk of wedding preparations) that take up very little screen time. So this just barely passes the test.
