| Synopsis: Mary Slayton, mother of Judith, realizes that the unyielding Puritanism of Matthew, Judith's father, is driving the girl to desperation. Trying to make things happier for Judith, she lets her invite her jazzy friends to the house for a party, at which they are discovered rioting by Matthew. In the general exposure that follows Matthew learns that, seeking sympathy and understanding through love and cocktails, Judith has sinned but is determined not to marry the boy. Matthew seeks to force her to do so, declaring no decent man will have her, knowing she never can be a true and loyal wife. Wherupon Mary, the mother, dramatically informs him that when she came to him she was in the same situation that Judith has confessed. Encouraged by her mother's revelation, Judith runs away to marry her true sweetheart. |
