The Great Flirtation
"Her love scenes were her profession but they were too perfect to convince that she was acting!"
Egotistical Budapest stage actor Stephan Karpath (Adolphe Menjou) has his lover and co-star Zita Marishka (Elissa Landi) fired out of jealousy. They marry on a ship to New York City after she decides to leave. In America, Stephan struggles to find work while Zita disguises herself as a famous unmarried Russian actress to land a leading Broadway role, eventually securing a part for Stephan opposite her. As Zita draws romantic attention from the producer and playwright Larry Kenyon (David Manners), Stephan eventually steps aside, feigning a return to Budapest.
