The Beauty Prize (1924)

Connie Du Bois, a young and beautiful Manhattan manicurist, is asked by one of her wealthy customers to watch over her mansion on Fifth Avenue while she is in Europe. Connie is then persuaded by a smooth-talking salesman friend, Eddie Schwartz, to enter the annual beauty contest in Atlantic City, and Eddie leads the newspapers to believe that she is a society debutante. Connie wins the contest but refuses the prize money and the title, disclosing her lowly station in life. One of the judges later discovers Connie in her hometown and persuades her to broadcast her experiences on the radio. During the transmission, Connie tells of her mistakes and tearfully cries out the name of her former sweetheart, George Brady, who hears the broadcast and returns to her. Connie and George are reconciled and make plans to be married.
