Synopsis
Famous actress Adele Dayton visits her daughter, Mildred, whom she left with relatives as an infant. The guardians, Mazie and John, permit the visit provided Adele conceals her relationship from Mildred. While Adele is there, she unwittingly attracts the admiration of Mildred's sweetheart, aspiring playwright David Starke, when she helps him sell one of his plays to a Broadway producer. David goes to New York city to launch the play, neglecting Mildred. On opening night Mildred visits Adele and finds her in an embrace with David; she upbraids Adele for stealing David's affection from her and returns to her home in Massachusetts. Realizing she has hurt her own daughter, Adele sacrifices her love for David and spurns him by affecting a cold, indifferent attitude. He returns to Mildred and marries her.
