Myra Barnes, trying to struggle through school, is repeatedly snubbed by her companions because of her degraded mother. She finally runs away. Ten years later Myra Barnes is known as the “Queen of Song.” Bob Phillips, her manager, and Ivan Quesno, a famous pianist, are rivals for her hand. She is unable to choose between them. Back in the old home, Myra’s mother becomes more pitiable. Myra sends her sufficient funds, but insists that the past be kept buried. Myra’s concert tour takes her to her old home where no one dreams that she is the Myra Barnes who disappeared so long ago. Myra’s heart is torn with a longing for her aged mother, yet she cannot bring herself to claim her. Myra is given an ovation at the concert. The aged mother, overcome by her daughter’s songs, rises and calls to Myra. Quesno roughly seizes her to put her out, but Bob Phillips gently takes the aged woman and assists her to her home. Myra Barnes acknowledges her mother, and, later, she and Bob are married. |
