They have never met, because of her diffidence in meeting him under the circumstances, and he regards the romantic correspondence as only one more sentimental episode. Clara has a suitor in the person of Harold Flint, a society butterfly of no particular consequence, but his attentions are encouraged by the mother on account of his social position. In order that he may escape from his army of admirers, and secure sufficient practice in his work. Sig. Marchese, under the name of Conti, hires an apartment immediately above that of the Deans, and with his accompanist begins his practicing. Mrs. Dean is subject to headaches and nervous attacks, and it is very seldom that she can even permit her daughter to pass her hours at her piano. Imagine her consternation when she hears nearly all day, sounds of voice and piano from the room above which drive her frantic. She appeals to the janitor, who carries the complaint only to be ejected from the apartment. One morning when Harold is very earnest in his efforts to induce Clara to "name the day," the tenor's practice is particularly annoying and he offers to make a complaint in person. His errand is futile, however, and Marchese sends his accompanist, Stetti, with a message to the people below that he has a right to do what he pleases in his own home. Then Clara decides to make an appeal to the tenor herself. As he opens the door to her, she immediately recognizes him as being the hero of her secret correspondence and is so aghast that she suddenly returns to her own apartment, followed by Marchese, who has fallen in love with her at first sight. When Marchese is admitted to the Dean apartment, he finds photographs of himself all over the walls, and a series of questions develops the fact that they are the two who have been carrying on the romantic correspondence. From this on, Marchese's practice is continued in the Dean apartment, with Clara as accompanist, much to the horror of Mrs. Dean and deeply exciting the jealousy of Harold. Then follows a series of complaints from the various tenants and finally the owner of the building is appealed to. When he arrives, however, he recognizes the great tenor, and declares that he would not insult so important a person by interfering with his work. Harold then appeals to the Health Department, and when the officers arrive and Clara discovers Harold's perfidy, she at once dismisses him, and she and Marchese decide to make a match of it. Then the tenants are invited to the room to listen to the practice and are much entranced. Mrs. Dean's headache disappears under the satisfaction of her daughter's brilliant match, and there are no more complaints. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
