Both were packed off to "protective custody," along with nine other dissenters from instant socialism...

...goes with her irresponsible actor-husband, James O'Conner, and their two children from one dilapidated theatre to another. The company presents spectacular melodramas that are presented on stage with intentional exaggeration. The production's depressing central theme deals with Jennie's struggle to save her marriage for the sake of her children, though her husband's consistent inability to face unpleasant realities causes her to lose all respect for him. In the end she realizes that by staying with him she is only dragging herself down. She eventually decides to leave him and marry a famous English playwright, whose...
