The House in Suburbia
Directed by Laurence TrimbleRejected by June Trowbridge, John Doane is inconsolable. He confides in his partner, Gerald Brooks, who advises him to make love to someone else and arouse June's jealousy. On their way to lunch, they notice a poster announcing the appearance that evening of Vesta Voorhies, a famous actress. The name seems familiar to Tom and she turns out to be an old friend of his. After the performance that night, he takes her to dinner and tells her of his recent experiences. She sympathizes with him and agrees to help him win June. The opportunity comes when June happens into the restaurant and sees him dining with the actress. It arouses her envy, if not her jealousy. According to the plan laid out by Vesta, Tom invests some money in a bungalow in a suburban town and when he meets June, he tells her that he is engaged to be married to the young lady she saw him with at the bungalow, which he had purchased for a home. June is delighted to assist him, but during the purchasing of the furniture, she differs with him so materially in taste, that they are unable to agree upon the same selections. She becomes very angry, quarrels with him and abruptly leaves him. After considering the whole matter, Tom comes to the conclusion that June and he are no match and after all, he is convinced that he loves Vesta Voorhies. He immediately cables to her in Europe, where she has gone to fill a foreign contract. He asks her if she is willing to sign a life's contract with him and make him her leading man. She replies at once that she will accept his offer and they will close their engagement at his house in Suburbia.
