But Dolly wishes she hadn't granted it when she meets and falls in love with Dick, whose wealthy uncle is strongly opposed to actresses. After their marriage it seems that everywhere they go that bothersome tomato can turns up and Dolly is hard put to keep Dick from learning her stage past. Then Uncle arrives for a visit and matters go from bad to worse. Finally, in desperation, Dolly evolves a scheme. After she has explained the plan to Flossie, her former dressing roommate, a theater party is arranged and care is taken to see that Uncle Mugglesworth sits in the front seat of the box when Flossie's act is on. Flossie and Uncle engage in a flirtation which causes the crafty old hypocrite to make a hurried excuse to get away from the party that he might meet Flossie in a nearby cabaret. When Dolly, Dick and Tommy descend upon them later explanations are in order and Uncle Mugglesworth decides that he "has the greatest respect for actresses."
