Unseen for many years, A. E. Dupont's silent rarity features the extraordinary Anna May Wong and includes early appearances by the then-unknown Charles Laughton as a persnickety club patron and leading-man-to-be Ray Milland in an extra role. In 1920s England, aging performer Mabel Greenfield (Gilda Gray) has finally secured everything she wants, including the patronage of her lover, Valentine Wilmot (Jameson Thomas), who owns the Piccadilly Club where she performs nightly. Mabel's crowd-pleasing dance partnership with younger man Victor Smiles (Cyril Ritchard) ensures a long run at the club, but Valentine fires him when Victor tries to persuade Mabel to accompany him...
