Mae Murray and David Powell interpret the piincipal roles. Miss Murray shows that she had not lost one whit of her skill in the dance that brought her into prom inenco in the Follies and exhibits also qualities as an einotonal actress' of surprising ability. The story concerns the adventures of a pretty Russian girl, suddenly left an orphan amid New York’s smart set. Her encounters with men, gooii and bad, her temporary yielding to the lure of a riotous gaifety, and her filial redemption in the big crisis provide a plot that holds the interest every moment.
