The original 1927 silent film presented with LIVE musical accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, New Hampshire-based performer regarded as one of the nation’s leading silent film musicians.

When stock girl Maggie Johnson (Mary Pickford) falls for coworker Joe Grant (Charles Rogers) at the Merrill department store, she doesn’t know he’s the son of the owner. Joe wants to prove that he has what it takes to honestly work his way up. In the process, he falls for Maggie, too. After his real identity is revealed, Maggie also learns that he’s engaged to a debutante (Avonne Taylor). Maggie flees from their budding relationship, and Joe becomes determined to win her back.
