Pauline Frederick was a noted stage actress who came to films late in her career (she was in her thirties). She played the type of roles that Ruth Chatterton became associated with in the early 30s ("Female" (1933)).

This is the first Pauline Frederick movie I have ever seen and, since very few of her films survive, it might be the only one I ever have an opportunity to view. This film changes gradually from a romantic comedy to a romantic tragedy.
