...in this melodrama from the Chadwick Pictures Corporation. Lugosi stars as Nicholas Harmon, an opera impresario whose current singing star and girlfriend Nina (Dolores Cassinelli) is starting to have vocal troubles. Harmon's stepson Don (Gareth Hughes) disapproves of his stepfather's romances, but he himself is engaged to the gold-digging Natalie (Ruby Blaine). After Don and Nicholas have a falling out, Don heads out on his own, where he discovers recent Russian immigrant and budding opera talent Anna (Lila Lee). But what happens when both Don and Nicholas fall for Anna?
This is pretty dull stuff, and another instance of music being an integral part of the story of a silent film. It's hard being impressed with Anna's opera skills when they're never heard. Lugosi, who was already in his early 40's, is dashing in an Adolphe Menjou sort of way, with a slightly curled mustache and goatee.
