While the romantic part of it is not always intentional it is undoubtedly desirable, so, when the hero, Jack, son of a wealthy and eminently aristocratic father, finds himself in love with the heroine, a chorus girl, we find ourselves interested in the story. The young girl is of irreproachable character, poor but ambitious to make her way in life and succeed in her chosen profession. She applies to a prominent manager for a chance to show her ability to act, and she impresses him very favorably, but he cannot give her the desired opportunity. She leaves her name and address with him for future reference. The manager is a personal friend of Jack's father, and while visiting him Jack comes in and the conversation turns to the stage. Jack mentions his acquaintance with the young chorus girl; the manager takes her card from his pocket, saying she had applied to him for a position and he had found her a very capable and charming young lady. Jack declares his love for her and his "dad" proclaims his objections to actresses in general and chorus girls in particular. The father goes to see the girl and induces her to give up his son, and he suggests that she can secure the boy of his love for her by assuming drunkenness when he and the son call on her by the father suggesting to the son that he would like to meet the young lady and see for himself the sort of a person she is. She reluctantly gives her word that she will do it, hoping her loss will be Jack's gain. The son joyfully and readily consents to his father's going to visit his sweetheart, feeling assured he will be won by her personality. At the fathers request his friend the manager as invited to accompany them. Word is sent to the girl that they will call to see her. She receives the note. With breaking heart she summons all her fortitude to her aid to give up the man she dearly loves and prepares to make herself objectionable to him. Her visitors arrive; the son is shocked and disgusted when he sees the girl apparently in a beastly state of intoxication. He silently leaves the room with his father. The manager lingers long enough to tell her she is a great actress and offers her a position in one of his companies. The father will supplement it with a present of money. Jack overhears their conversation, discovers the deception which has been played upon him, and determines to have the girl in opposition to everything and everybody. The father and the manager go at once to see the girl. She spurns their offers of money and contract. She has lost more than fame and fortune in the loss of Jack and his love. At this moment Jack enters, tells her he knows all, and asks her to be his wife. She replies, "Not until your father gives his consent." The old gentleman is only too willing that his son should marry a woman who had acted not only well by nobly, and readily places her hand in the hand of his son, adding his blessing to his consent.
