Dame Chance (1926)

Gail Vernon arrives late for a rehearsal and loses her job in the cast of a big Broadway show. Craig Stafford offers to set her up with an apartment, money, and clothes but she turns him down; she is not that kind of a girl. She is on the verge of poverty when she learns that her mother must have an expensive operation, so she tells Craig she is now that kind of girl. Mom dies, but Gail keeps her set-up. She meets playwright Lloyd Mason, who falls in love with her, but though she's somewhat interested, she decides to remain true-blue to Craig, who paid for her mother's unsuccessful operation and other items. But Craig, who is married, sees that Lloyd and Gail care for each other and steps aside. Then Gail realizes that she loves Craig. Meanwhile, Craig's wife runs away with another man, then dies. Lloyd then tells Gail to go to Craig.
