Plot Summary

Ada Love, who has renamed herself Eva Lovelace, is a would-be actress trying to crash the New York stage. A wildly optimistic chatterbox full of theatrical mannerisms, her looks, more than her talent, attract the interest of a paternal actor, a philandering producer, and an earnest playwright. Is she destined for stardom or the "casting couch"? Or will she fade after a brief blooming, like so many other "morning glories"? Written by Rod Crawford
