As soon as she hangs up, Count Castanni is announced and comes bounding into the room, bowing and gesticulating extravagantly. Of course Mary must play her new composition, and the Count, true to his chivalrous lineage, must twirl his pointed, epicurean mustache, and express with looks, words and gestures the rapture which her song inspires. When John arrives, Mary again plays her song. But John, not having a long line of foreign grandees in his ancestral wake, is more blunt and feelingless in his manner. He is perhaps a little too blunt, too feelingless, too untruthful, at least so thinks Mary, exceedingly indignant. So indignant is she that she furiously, tearfully tears up her song, and gives John back his diamond engagement ring, pointing to the door and telling him to go. John pleads to be forgiven, but Mary says haughtily, "It is better thus. We have no interest in common." Mary soon finds that the polite Count has his failings. He does not like to go shopping, carry bundles, or--worst of all--play with children. He even refuses to accompany Mary to the Baby Show because, oh horrors, it comes on the date of the death of Garibaldi. And when Mary invites some friends to hear her new composition, and detects the Count making a wry face over her music, she decides that he is a deceiver and dismisses him. She takes up charity work among children to forget her disappointment and visits all parts of the city in her efforts to help the needy. Her excursions into the poverty-stricken districts make her a ray of sunshine among her forlorn, ragged protégés. She takes great interest in the Baby Show, and must talk to the proud mothers and pet the laughing and crying babies. Happening to look toward another part of the show, she is greatly surprised at seeing John there hugging a baby. They meet, make up, decide that they have a common interest after all, and happily agree that Providence intended them for each other. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
