Plot
Eva Lovelace (Hepburn) is a small town theater performer who hopes to make it big in Broadway. She goes to auditions and tries to get a role in an upcoming play that would help her make it to the big time. While there, several other actresses auditioning make the cut and they are cast since they have more experience on stage than her. A theater coach (C Aubrey Smith), whom she meets while auditioning, agrees to give her acting and theater coach lessons.
She later meets Joseph Sheridan (Fairbanks), who agrees to give her a small part in an upcoming Broadway play. As the play is about to begin, the star of the show Rita Vernon (Mary Duncan), a blond theater star, starts making demands for money in a contract she wants. When she is not obliged, she storms off the set and the show is without a star. The production crew frantically tries to find a replacement. As a last resort, they choose Eva Lovelace to play the star of the show and she gets her big break. She quickly rehearses her lines and makes an excellent debut as a star.
