Daphne Kip Becomes a Working Actress in New York
Daphne Kip breaks her engagement with Clay Wimburn after discovering his penniless status and pursues acting in New York with help from Tom Duane and the theatre magnate Reben. She endures a difficult rehearsal, faces public scorn, and returns to her mother but resolves to support herself, while her father arrives with forgiving warmth and pride in her decision.
