Not that shows are especially delicate, but at least they represent an accepted form of female occupation. But the show busted. Bessie left with insufficient funds, pondered upon her future means of existence. John pondered too. John was the stage manager and equally poor. Bess returned to the hall bedroom. But not before she had read a sign offering $200 reward for the capture of Honey Hall, a crook. Taking her ribbon- trimmed toy revolver, Bess started out to be a detective. The judge appears. His description fits. And the detective follows him home. His wife objects and Bess goes back once more to the hall bedroom. John, meanwhile, has been pinched for shooting craps. Into the jail with him is thrown Honey Hall. Both finally escape and the chase begins. Bess has overheard the judge make a suspicious appointment to meet a friend at "the old mill at twelve and don't forget the papers." More villainy. She tracks him down, only to find the old mill a gathering place of feeble old men. But good intentions always bear fruit of some kind and Bess succeeds in aiding John to capture Honey Hall. They get the reward and all is well. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
