A Romantic Adventuress

Plot

As described in a film magazine, Alice Vanni (Dalton), daughter of dancing master Professor Vanni (Lang) and prima donna Mrs. Martyn (Anderson), who abandoned her husband during the child's babyhood to go her selfish way, is sent after the death of her father to stay with her mother whom she has not known. With the aid of her cohort Louis Fitch (Dawson), the mother plans a wealthy marriage for the young woman in ambition of repairing her own fortunes. To further this plan the trio go abroad. In a watering place in Europe, Alice meets Captain Maxwell of the prior year's Yale football team, whom she first saw in a brilliant play during the Yale-Harvard game. She gives her heart to him, but her mother insists she accept the advances of the Italian Signor Castelli (Ardizoni). The latter is later proved to be a married man and the clever mother and Fitch blackmail him for several thousand dollars. Alice eventually defies her mother and accepts the love the Yale man offers her regardless of his lack of wealth.
