Plot summary
Gertrude Langerfelder comes to New York with ambitions of becoming a theatrical star and takes the name Eva Lovelace before calling on the theater agents and producers of Broadway. Waiting at the office of the producer Lewis Easton, she recognizes the actor Robert Harley Hedges, wins him over with her confident talk of what she means to give the stage, and he brings her to Lewis and to Joe Sheridan, a young playwright. Lewis tries to turn her away; Joe, though he offends her by suggesting chorus work, invites her to try out for the part of a peasant waitress. Stage star Rita Vernon wants the lead in the play Joe has begun, and Lewis, her lover, agrees to her terms. Eva's audition goes badly and the director, Constantine, dismisses her.
