In her spare moments she dreams of herself as a great lady loved by Deming. Olive Trent, a young girl seeking a theatrical career, takes lodgings at Mrs. Jennings'. Her attempts to get an engagement meet with failure. Will sees her one day in an agency and is filled with admiration for her fresh young beauty. He sympathizes with her in her distress. She repulses him, mistaking his motive. Will little dreams that they live in the same house. Tod Wilkes, a burlesque performer living at Mrs. Jennings', has seen Olive come and go. At last he manages to meet her and, thinking her a find, offers her an engagement in the burlesque company of which he is a member. It is an offer so far below Olive's aspirations that she refuses. The last of Olive's money goes to satisfy her landlady and she is desperate. She decides to accept Tod's offer, and goes to tell him so. He invites her to his room to run over her part. Tod's rehearsal with Olive is over, but he still detains her. Before she is aware of his intentions he has seized her in his arms and kisses her fervently. Olive fights herself free. Enraged as well as humiliated, she goes to her room, too overcome with the shock of her experience to observe Will and Polly. Will recognizes her and offers her work in his company, a position which fulfills her highest ambitions. They leave the next day for Syracuse with never a good-bye or a glance at poor little Polly, who was the humble instrument in bringing them together. Polly shakes her head sadly and murmurs, "Such is Life." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
