Hatched last week in the Manhattan offices of Adman Byron G. Moon was an ingenious scheme to end fabric design piracy. No matter how novel the design, fabrics cannot be successfully patented. Yet songs can be copyrighted. Ingenious Mr. Moon's idea is to use the title or a snatch of the lyric of a copyrighted song to designate print designs, thus extending to dress materials Tin Pan Alley's copyright protection.

It is this picture which is the case...
...plot might work itself out through a few scenes of drama, some (in this case good) comedy, and so on, to the final reconciliation. Francis Larrimore would be given her chance to show herself in her debut, and all would be quite regular, and very, very plain. As a matter of fact, "John Meade's Woman" does end with the necessary reconciliation, but not before many quite irregular things have happened...
