Aspiring artist Stewart Grant and his
sweetheart, singing hopeful Hedda Dana, live in the same Greenwich
Village apartment building. Hedda wins a role in a Broadway show
and celebrates at a Village café with Stewart, where they meet Mrs.
Drexel Trask, a wealthy patron. Mrs. Trask is attracted to Stewart
and offers to pay his way to Europe where she will support him while he
develops his talents. Stewart immediately proposes to Hedda, but
she refuses, telling him she wants to pursue her career, but really
feeling that he should not pass up the opportunity offered by Mrs. Trask.
In Paris, Stewart successfully avoids Mrs.
Trasks's advances while his portrait of Hedda wins him instant acclaim.
In New York, Hedda achieves fame but she collapses during one of her
performances. When Stewart hears of this, he rushes to America,
despite Mrs. Trask's pleas, and the lovers are reunited. |
