Midnight at Maxim's Synopsis

Shye, seated under a tree near the seminary, is not so wrapped in his studies as to fail to see the trim ankle displayed by Tottie as she stoops to tie her shoelace. His eyes stray upward until they rest upon her face. At once Shye forgets all about his studies. The love-sick young man follows Tottie, who happens to be on her way to Maxim's, where she is due to take part in a Saturday matinee performance. Returning home, he suggests to his three friends (much to their amazement) that they make a trip to Maxim's that evening. Anxious to see the girl who has made such an impression upon him, Shye waits for midnight, when the cabaret is due to commence, with extreme impatience. The sight of Tottie in the various numbers fills him with ecstasy. The first part of the performance over, Shye collects the flowers from the holders on the tables and then endeavors to enter Tottie's dressing room. A man guards the door, however, and Shye is compelled to grease his palm before he can gain admittance. Tottie appears glad to meet him and promises to have supper with him after the show. Unknown to Shye, his friends are also smitten with the little blonde and like him, get Tottie's promise to have supper with them. The men hasten around to the rear entrance and the sight of each other waiting for the same girl fills them with ire. A fight is about to take place, when out walks Tottie, clinging to the arm of the individual whom all had to bribe before they could see her. Calmly introducing Tottie to the love-stricken youths as his wife, he and the little blonde walk away.

The Broadway Bubble Synopsis

Adrienne Landreth, the wife of Geoffrey Landreth, is dissatisfied with her life of luxury and is estranged from her husband. Because she longs for a footlight career as a musical star, when she is offered an opportunity to star on Broadway by theatrical producer Fred Corliss, she persuades her twin sister Drina Lynn to come to New York and pose as Geoffrey's wife while she herself pursues a career. Drina, less fortunate than her sister, reluctantly agrees and Geoffrey soon notices that his wife has become more compassionate and understanding. Hoping for a reconciliation, Geoffrey persuades his wife to attend the theater, and by chance, selects Adrienne's show. Upon seeing her husband in the audience, Adrienne becomes so disoriented that she stumbles and falls from the top of a flight of stairs, injuring herself fatally. She dies in her dressing room, leaving Drina and Geoffrey to face future happiness.
