This was found in the New Zealand archive and is now online for all to view. The lead is Elaine Hammerstein who comes across as a feckless, not too sympathetic flapper, who rushes into marriage to escape from her family. However, just because she marries, she is still way too immature and careless and routinely takes off from her husband (at night) to go dancing with friends or out to drinks. He patiently waits for her to come back and keeps hoping that she will turn her life around. After a long bender where she decides to leave him, a traumatic experience then foreshadows for her that changes her destiny forever. Look quickly for Constance Bennett as a sympathetic showgirl who you root for her to encourage the husband to leave his unfaithful and uncaring wife.
