Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
From small-scale (and typically misnamed) Excellent Pictures, this minor silent melodrama featured handsome Bryant Washburn as Roger Van Dorn, a scion of society marrying a lowly cabaret dancer, Fola Dale (Lila Lee), despite the misgivings of his domineering Aunt Honoria (Martha Mattox). In collaboration with spurned debutante Helen Worl (Jacqueline Gadsden), Aunt Honoria manages to break up the couple by convincing Roger that Fola has been unfaithful during an engagement in Paris. When Roger learns that Fola has given birth to their child, he stops divorce proceedings and rushes to her side. Supporting actress Jacqueline Gadsden specialized in playing the other woman, and is perhaps best remembered as Clara Bow's debutante nemesis in It (1927).
