The Missing Page

• Watchlist

George Godfrey, a clever physician, is deeply interested in his work, while his wife, Flora, believes she has a talent for the stage. She wants to become a professional actress. The leading woman of a traveling theatrical company meets with an accident and the manager offers Flora the engagement which she accepts. Godfrey becomes pessimistic, sells his practice and moves to a smaller town, while Flora disappears into the vortex of theatrical life. He discovers a serum for the cure of meningitis, and is appointed chief physician in the hospital. He is attracted to Hilda, a nurse, who loves him. A friend has written him a letter on three sheets of paper, but the middle page is mislaid, leaving Godfrey to believe that his wife has died. He arranges to marry Hilda, but Flora, who now loves him madly, locates him just in time.
