...shoots himself. Sent to jail for manslaughter, she reënters the house on 56th Street 20 years later as a lady black-jack dealer, plays cards against a grown daughter who has been taught to think her mother dead. When the daughter (Margaret Lindsay) shoots Peggy's partner (Ricardo Cortez) to avoid paying her losses, Peggy is again on hand, ready to take what the cinema calls "the rap."

One wintry day in 1932 he called up Henry Mason Day, the big, grizzled, taciturn partner of Redmond & Co. who loyally went to jail with his good friend Harry Ford Sinclair for jury-shadowing. Mr. Day picked up one of the seven telephones on his desk and listened to Mr. Porter's suggestion that National Distillers, aside from the dynamite of Repeal, was a pretty good thing at around $16 per share.
