Singer's Reward Ends in Theatre Tale of Veils and Diamonds
A Hungarian prima donna Raselli is cheered after a performance when a poor boy presents violets and a broken diamond crescent. The singer forgives him, finds the gem, and later marries a penniless lawyer, defying critics who predicted poverty would ruin her. She relearns music with violinist Busch, rekindling fame and love in a revived life.
