But Sue finds stardom in Hollywood very elusive and winds up working in the wardrobe department at a studio. She convinces her parents to sell everything they have to join her in Hollywood, but they are taken in by a swindler and lose all their money.

Interesting submitted by kathscot on August 31, 2017, 8:54pm Neither story makes a lot of sense, but it is interesting to watch silent films. The Extra Girl has an opera accompaniment; The Gusher has a piano accompaniment.
