Draft script for the 1928 film. An early sound film, today considered lost, released with no dialogue, but with a synchronized musical score and sound effects, using sound-on-disc and sound-on-film processes. Based on John McGowan's 1927 play, about a cocky small-time acrobat who marries a talented dancer, then struggles with resentment as her star begins to rise while his does not (essentially the plot of "A Star is Born").
