One night, Broadway producer Larry Bryant spots Mary and is taken with her beauty and golden voice. He asks her to audition for Mr. Collier and have Jimmy accompany her. After hearing Mary, Collier wants Mary to be in his show. Jimmy encourages a reluctant Mary to go on the road without him. Soon, Mary's talent is noticed and her role in the show increases, while Harriet Ingalls, the show's original star, is pushed out. She quits, promising to seek revenge. After 5 weeks on the road, Mary returns home. She is now a big star, while Jimmy's career has gone nowhere, and he feels threatened by Mary's success. Jimmy, while waiting for Mary to dress, starts to read a Broadway magazine. Seeing pictures of Mary with Larry, he pours himself a drink and another till he's drunk. Larry stops by, and Ingalls suddenly appears and accuses Mary and Larry of having an affair. Jimmy leaves believing Ingalls' lies.
