Miss Johann plays the role of a nurse, i his assistant, whose kindness helps him: forget his own troubles whep he is called, time after time,, to administer to ailing patients.
Bo frequent are the calls that he is unable to catch more than an occasional glimpse of his wife. Those glimpses, however, are enough to make him question the value of his former grief, and to drive her to desperate measures which vitally affect the lives of everyone on the weasel. Her ultimate step is one- which leaves the doctor and the nurse free to straighten out their own tangled lives together.
A world-famous financier; a Bur cessful opera singer; a girl travel ling in steerage, but using her eharms to get herself up to first cabin; an elevator operator, who poses as an officer before gaping girl passengers; and a dying mo- ther travelling to New York for one last reunion with her son, are among the other important char-
acters.
