Real Adventure Synopsis

Following her marriage to wealthy lawyer Rodney Aldrich, Rose Stanton realizes that he is uninterested in her intellect. She takes up law studies to help him in his work, and when he scoffs at the idea, she leaves him, determined to prove herself an equally-intelligent marriage partner. In New York, Rose becomes a chorus girl, then seizes the opportunity to design costumes for Broadway shows. Soon she opens a salon and is very successful, but realizes that whatever a man's interest in a woman's work, his deepest concern will be with her as a woman. As she is about to sign a Broadway contract, Rodney confesses his admiration and respect for her, and she agrees to return to the career of wife and mother.
