Four Daughters
Adam Lemp, the Dean of the Briarwood Music Foundation, has passed on his love of music to his four young-adult daughters--Thea, Emma, Kay, and Ann--who live with him and his sister, the girls' Aunt Etta, in the long-time family home. Of the four, Kay has the greatest promise as a musical performer, specifically as a singer. Theirs is a loving family, however much the girls exasperate their father with their love of popular music, since he only loves the classics, especially Beethoven. The girls support one another however they can, but each is an individual with her own distinct personality and wants, including the type of husband each wants. Practical but deep-in-her-heart-romantic Emma has long been courted by their next-door neighbor, unassuming florist Ernest Talbot; clever Thea wants to be Mrs. Ben Crowley (he's a wealthy up-and-coming banker with prospects). Only Ann, the fun-loving youngest, states that she doesn't want to get married. Their lives change with the arrival of two men. The first is Adam's old friend's son, popular music composer and conductor Felix Deitz, who easily gets a job at the foundation using his natural and sincere charm which he applies to all equally; many women misconstrue that charm for romantic interest. The second is Felix's acquaintance, musician Mickey Borden, whom he hires to orchestrate his latest composition. Mickey has a chip on his shoulder about what life has dealt him, which he uses as a reason for living a reckless life. The two men make each of the four daughters reexamine what she thinks she wants in life, or more precisely who she wants--which for all may be the same person.
