By Appointment Only

Lew Cody is a dedicated doctor with a large practice among the hypochondriac rich. They pay for the poor people whom he cares for. He's engaged to Aileen Pringle, who is a society deb, and one day, between her and the perfectly healthy rich people who eat up his time, a poor woman dies in his office, leaving orphaned Sally O'Neal behind. Cody takes the sweet young girl as his ward. He goes off to Europe to study for three years and when he gets back, he discovers nothing has changed .... except that Miss O'Neal has grown up and is engaged to Miss Pringle's brother. This disturbs him.

This is a well acted movie, with several silent players -- including Marcelline Day, Pauline Garon and Claire MacDowall -- giving fine performances. It also starts out with some real social issues, all ready to be investigated; the disconnect between people who have money and can afford the best of care as opposed to the poor who need care is still with us. All of these interesting subtextual points are raised, and then the second half drops them entirely to focus on a four-sided triangle. That plot is settled by the end of the movie, but the issues that might have given it some importance are lost.
