Wife, Husband and Friend

Woman hopes to be a great singer and is encouraged by her scheming teacher. After she flops, her husband - encouraged by an amorous professional singer - tries opera and also flops. Leonard Borland's contracting business is doing badly, while his monied wife wants to pursue an operatic career. He lets her get on with it until she seems to be a success, when he finds he himself has a singing voice good enough to go on tour with. This brings some money in, and his new singing partner fancies him too. —Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
