Broadway Lady is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Wesley Ruggles and starring Evelyn Brent.[1]
Plot[edit]
As described in a review in a film magazine,[2] Evelyn, as a chorus girl, is admired by a young blue-blood whose family invite her to a reception to show her up. To teach them a lesson for their snobbery, she marries this chap. Bob. His sister becomes infatuated with Martyn, a libertine, and to save her when she prepares to elope, Evelyn goes to Martyn's apartment. He is shot and Evelyn captured and accused. It develops that Mary, a girl Evelyn has befriended, had a row with Martyn and the shot was accidental. Both young women are freed and Bob's family is glad to receive Evelyn as a member of the household.
