Sylvia on a Spree Synopsis

Sheltered young Sylvia Fairponts reads about the scandals originating from the Beaulieu Inn and determines to go there at any cost. Anxious to know whether life promises any excitement for her, Sylvia consults clairvoyant Mme. Claire St. Claire, who, for a large fee, predicts that she will soon meet a dashing young lover. That afternoon, Sylvia meets handsome Jack Bradley, who, although strongly attracted to her, is horrified when she demands that he take her to the Beaulieu Inn. She insists, however, so Jack arranges to dine at the inn and, with his brother's help, forever cure Sylvia of her desire to experience the seamy side of life. He hires a number of exotic dancers to gyrate wildly in one room, while in another, hired chorus girls give Edwin Booth D'Aubrey, an unemployed actor dressed as a man-about-town, a champagne shampoo. Sylvia's disgust turns to panic when hired policemen raid the inn, but moments later the real police arrive, and everyone is taken into night court. Jack's friend arranges to have them released, whereupon Sylvia starts to happily look forward to a quiet married life with Jack.

Rouge and Riches Synopsis

Weary of being poor, Rebecca Butler takes a job in a Broadway chorus line and determines to marry a millionaire. She refuses dancing partner Tom Rushworth's offer of marriage in hopes of ensnaring millionaire Carter Willis. At first Willis offers to make Becky his mistress but later he capitulates and asks her to be his wife. When Rushworth is arrested for the murder of Dodo, a chorus girl, Becky provides him with an alibi by testifying that she spent the night of the murder with the dancer. The resulting scandal forces her to forfeit Willis' offer of marriage, but she realizes that her heart lies with Rushworth and that love is more important than money.
