A famous actress wants to play the lead in a new play, but she is too old for the part, and it gets offered to her daughter. Both women vie for the heart of a middle aged bachelor, but he prefers the older one.
Dramatic comedy. The plot has an interesting symmetrical structure illustrating the theme of age: the mother is too old for a certain part and the daughter is too young for a certain man. Of course this resolves itself in the happiest manner for everyone involved. The leading actress is also a lyrically trained soprano, and so she is made to sing an assortment of musical numbers which are not really essential (and occasionally not even connected) to the plot development. Overall, not an especially attractive film, but not an especially unpleasant one either.
