The House On 56th Street

Director Robert Florey takes us backstage at the Gotham Theatre, 1905, where Kay Francis is showgirl "Peggy," Sheila Terry advising her about suitors, elder Fiske (John Halliday) and handsome Monte (Gene Raymond), who has an eager pal (Frank McHugh), early in The House On 56th Street, 1933.

Kay Francis is ex-showgirl and socialite Peggy, fresh from 20 years unjustly in prison, a make-over, and an unexpected inheritance, who happens to be a legacy card-sharp, beginning a cruise when handsome Blaine (Ricardo Cortez) presents himself, in The House On 56th Street, 1933.

A woman (Kay Francis) loses her family after being falsely convicted of a crime in the pre-code drama The House on 56th Street (1933).
