This play, the product of the Chicago Company, was well received by the audience. Guido, a composer, through the death of his mother, is left alone in the world. He is in love with Marie Medici, a singer, who has sung some of his compositions; she prefers her musical career, however, to becoming his wife. Maria ascends in the scale; Guido fails in his battle with fame. Guido later meets Maria, she recognizes him, and sends her maid to learn his lodging house, which is in a garret. Maria goes to see Guido, and promises to sing one of his compositions. She does so, and the song is a success. Guido, meantime, has been ejected by his landlord, and in his despair temporarily loses his reason. When he finally learns of his success the reaction kills him. Maria falls grief-stricken over his body. - The Moving Picture World, June 15, 1912
