Lorelei Knight Draws Family Into New York Dream
In a dim Yale parlor, Peter Knight resists a New York offer while wife Lorelei’s beauty and ambition spark a plan. Lorelei may join Bergman’s Revues, with mother pressuring and brother Jim counting the odds as the family plots to escape poverty. Lorelei meets theater critic Campbell Pope at Bergman’s circuit, where the star’s allure clashes with the moral glare surrounding showgirls.
