176 Pauline Frederick mixed up with an adventuress. In order to save her son from this woman's clutches, the mother invites her to the house and not only shows her up in vivid contrast to the girl she wants the boy to marry, but also manages to expose some of the adventuress' past. In the story, hundreds of women saw a solution to their own problems with sons mixed up with the wrong women, and thousands of letters poured into Pauline thanking her for having helped to solve their domestic problems! It was a sophisticated comedy that had an undeniable appeal, and even though the dramatic situations were few, it showed Pauline as the kind of woman the public favored — charming, graceful, glamorous. In it she was ably supported by Grayce Hampton who played the part of a very understanding housekeeper, and by Laura Builivant and Carlyle Moore in the juvenile parts, with Isabel Withers making a most convincing " adventuress."
