Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[5] Will Webb accepts tickets to an amateur performance from his fiancee, Natalie, as she sails for Europe, and there he meets and falls in love with Mary Lane. He marries her. They live in a Harlem flat and have a baby. Natalie returns, still considering that Will belongs to her. She visits them, throwing Will into terror and arousing Mary’s jealousy. Natalie tries to win Will back, and Mary accepts Tom awrence’s suggestion that she should have a career for herself on the stage. The premiere is a complete flop due to a trip and the antics of her false nose. Will fears Mary has killed herself. He escapes from Natalie and finds Mary still in her dressing room at the theatre. They are reconciled.
