Her love spurs him on to success. He loves her, but is selfish and egotistical, and when he meets Helen Marr, whose father is very wealthy, he falls in love with her, and gratifies his ambitions for social position by marrying her. Roselyn is neglected, and when she learns of Phillip's marriage ta Helen, her love turns to intense hatred. She marries John Ware, a worthy and good man, and becoming melancholy from brooding over her revenge, makes their married life miserable. The influence of time and motherhood softens Roselyn's heart a bit, but when her baby dies, she becomes more bitter than ever, leaves her husband and returns to the stage. Phillip, now a prosperous lawyer, seeing Roselyn's name on the billboard of a theatre in which she is playing, is seized with a desire to see her again. He enters, and at sight of Roselyn, is again fascinated by her. He sends word to her after the show, and she, with the spirit of revenge still strong, maliciously leans him on, finally succeeding in inducing him to write a few compromising lines in her autograph album. With this, and some letters he had written her, as evidence, she calls on him the day his wife arrives from the east. She sees Phil's child singing and rocking with her dolls in the nursery, is reminded of her own, and the memory of this one bit of sunshine in her life, drives away the shadows from her heart. She resolves to spare Phillip for the sake of his child. She succeeds in escaping from the house unnoticed, and returns penitently to her own good husband.
