...Muriel Flood (Miss Bankhead) is alternately berated and praised by her hard-boiled and single-minded manager (Clay Clement), is tirelessly pursued by a stodgy suitor from her home town. The sympathy with which she receives his proposals of marriage is discouraged by the manager, by the acrid philosophizing of a fellow trouper (Ann Andrews) and the appearance of a more appealing admirer (Phillip Reed). Although she achieves success in Manhattan, she seems perfectly willing to give up her career to marry this charmer until he is exposed as an actress-chasing cad with a concealed wife & child.

...charges simply made most observers believe that good, grey Dr. Townsend was being used as a front by sharpers who had swarmed into his Old Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd. First hint that Dr. Townsend was more than a simple, pious figurehead came last March when shrewd young Robert Earl Clements, cofounder, national secretary and working boss of Old Age Revolving Pensions, suddenly resigned from the organization on the eve of his appearance before a special House investigating committee (TIME, April 6).
