| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
Based on a musical comedy by Edward Dowling, this picture was Joan Crawford's breakthrough film.
Her Charleston in this and other films would be defining moments for the 1920s. The worldly Sally
(Constance Bennett), dreamy Irene (Crawford), and naïve Mary (Sally O'Neill) are friends who have
risen up from New York's Lower East Side to become Broadway chorus girls. Sally's wealthy lover,
Marcus Morton (Henry Kolker), falls for innocent Mary, and Irene, even though a decent man heart,
and sends Irene back home. She marries the right guy, but they are killed in an auto accident. Mary is
shocked by Irene's death, and realizes that Morton symbolizes a world that does not really suit her.
As a result, she settles down with Jimmy Dugan (William Haines), her childhood sweetheart, who has
become a plumber.
Plot Synopsis by Janiss Garza, AllMovie.com
Mary, an innocent young Irish girl from the East Side of New York, becomes a chorus girl in a
Broadway show, getting to know very well two of the other girls in the show: Sally, who is too wise in
the ways of the world; and Irene, lost in dreams of romance. Mary also gets to know Marcus Morton,
the wealthy roué who keeps Sally in a luxurious apartment; he falls in love with Mary and asks her to
marry him. She at first refuses, but when Jimmy Dugan, her onetime plumber sweetheart, expresses
disgust with her new life, she is prompted by anger to accept Morton's offer. Disappointed by a love
affair with another millionaire, Irene impulsively marries a college youth, only to be killed shortly
afterward in an automobile accident. Greatly sobered by Irene's tragic death, Mary breaks off her
engagement with Morton and returns to Jimmy's arms and the simple life on Avenue B.
