The White Light of Publicity (1915)
When Clyde Maury, a wealthy society bachelor, sees in the morning newspaper that Violet Lonsdale, the actress, had attempted suicide because of love for an unknown man, he is distressed and decides to leave the city. As he leaves his apartment, Grace Reeves, a newspaper woman, and Billy Hardie, a press agent, spy him, and Grace resolves to follow Maury, believing he is the man who figured in the Violet Lonsdale episode. At the Seaside Inn, Grace becomes acquainted with Maury and he tells her that no action of his had ever caused Violet's rash determination. Grace then tells Maury that she is a newspaper woman assigned to secure an exclusive interview with him. The relationship of Clyde Maury and Grace Reeves is mistaken by the hotel clerk, who orders Grace from the hostelry. Maury discovers the situation and compels the clerk to "eat" his words. Grace then resigns from the newspaper staff, refusing to use Maury's interview. She also confesses to Maury that Violet Lonsdale's threat of suicide was but a sham; that she needed publicity, and the whole scheme had been invented by Billy Hardie, the press agent. The acquaintanceship of Maury and Grace promises to ripen into love.
