Pianist and Navy Romance at Sea Station
A vivid slice of life centers on a shipboard gathering with Rosamond, Ackley, and Admiral Koster. An order detaches Ackley from duty after a misread social cue at a party. Ackley pursues Rosamond, a Japanese motif hints at a secret engagement, and a playful plan to wed unfolds as a twist of fate.
