Miss Halloway of Chicago Becomes Mrs Parker
In a Chicago hotel tale, Miss Halloway of Chicago asserts her power to secure a better room and arranges a sequence of events leading to an engagement with hotel clerk Mr Parker. Her mother urges restraint while the reluctant heir Thomas P. Halloway objects, but Parker persists, wins approval, and the marriage to New York follows. The scene ends with a theater-tinged epilogue and a note on actors recognizing their art.
