A Regular Girl Synopsis

Elizabeth Schuyler is the daughter of a wealthy man, and is spoiled by him. But then the war comes and she goes overseas as a nurse. She returns to her former life as a changed woman. She decides to help out returning soldiers who are looking for jobs. Her father promises to give her $10,000 if she can raise the same amount on her own. To win the help of the returning soldiers, she poses as a "slavey" at Mrs. Murphy's boarding house, where many of them are staying. She gains their trust, then puts on a circus, in which she rides a horse bareback and does stunts. The circus raises more than $10,000, so her father honors his part of the bargain. With the additional money, she sets up an office and devotes her energies to finding jobs for the servicemen.

Over Night Synopsis

College friends Percy Darling and Richard Kettle take their new wives on board a boat going from New York City to Albany. Just before sailing, however, Mrs. Kettle and Percy realize that they have left some baggage on shore, and so rush out to get it. The boat leaves without them, and a distressed Mrs. Darling and Richard, left in each other's company, decide to pose as husband and wife to prevent a scandal. When the boat docks, they learn that the last train has left, and so they hesitantly check into a hotel as a couple and spend the night together. The next day, Mrs. Kettle and Percy track down the "newlyweds" and are shocked to see them in the hotel lobby, arm in arm. The ruse is quickly explained, and the correct couples are soon sorted out.
