- Julian (Percy Marmont) is a poor artist who lives with wife Edith (Alice Joyce) and their newborn baby in Harlem. Struggling to make ends meet, he foregoes his artistic calling and draws for magazines. Reaching his limits, Julian convinces his wife he could reach higher grounds if he went to Paris, and he moves to Paris while Edith works at a shop on Fifth Avenue. Their lives evolve differently from then on: Edith is courted by a wealthy suitor, whom she ignores while pining for her husband; while Julian fails to meet his goals in Paris and returns to New York City three years later. Their meeting highlight how different their routes have been.
- Julian, an artist was always looking for inspiration and thought he had found it when he again met his childhood sweetheart Edith, but after several years of married life he was no nearer the goal. Finally his self-sacrificing wife got a position and arranged for Julian to spend a year in Paris, when [sic] he became a regular Bohemian. Returning home, he was so changed that Edith was heartbroken. He confessed his feelings toward her were not the same. At his desire, they moved into the artist's colony and Edith became more unhappy the only bright spots being her little daughter and the friendship of Mrs. Greenough and her son who loved Edith. Even a frame-up love scene with Greenough did not arouse Julian's jealousy. Unable to stand it any longer Edith left. Then Julian realized his loss and painted a picture that was widely acclaimed. Edith promised to marry Greenough, but just then her little girl was injured so badly she died. Julian, though broken in spirit, came to Edith and then decided to start life anew. - Moving Picture World, March 7, 1925.—Pamela Short
