Miss Stuart, a blonde cameo-like beauty, appears in her most import- ant role to date. She is seen as a young modern unwilling to forego her career as a lawyer in order to help her husband further his career as an architect. Mr. Ross, as the would-be architect, turns in despair only other trade he knows that of singing. He becomes a night club entertainer, and so wid- ens the breach between himself and his wife.
