The play concerns a group of young girls who have come to New York to study acting and find jobs. The hopes and ambitions of sixteen young women are revealed in scenes of entertaining comedy. Contrasted with this are the case of the girl without talent and the elderly actress whose days are over. The central plot has to do with courageous Terry Randall, who fights against discouragement to a position in the theatre where we are sure she will conquer. One of her fellow aspirants gives up in despair, one gets married, and one goes into pictures, but Terry, sticks to her guns. Colour and contrast are offered by Mattie, the maid; Frank her husband; a few young men callers, a movie magnate and young Keith Burgess, the playwright who 'goes Hollywood.'
