Summaries

The story of six affairs of the heart, drawn from controversial feminist author Mary MacLane's. None of MacLane's affairs - with "the bank clerk," "the prize-fighter," "the husband of another," and so on - last, and in each of them MacLane emerges dominant. Re-enactments of the love affairs are interspersed with MacLane addressing the camera (while smoking), and talking contemplatively with her maid on the meaning and prospects of love.—Michael R.

Most persons recall the sensation the first confessions of Mary MacLane made when they were published. For her newest revelation she turns to the screen for her audience, and she tells the story of six lovers, with the addenda, "There were more; may there be others. One's loves are so real while they last." But the bank clerk lasted only nine days, and none of them were stayers.—Moving Picture World synopsis
