The Play opens in the New York apartment of Neil McRae. Neil is a young musical Composer, rich in talent-but poor in wealth. His two friends are, Cynthia Mason-living in the same building-and Doctor Rice, from Chicago.
You will meet also in this play the Cady family who come from Neil's old home in Livingstone. The Cady's are rich in worldly wealth, but poor -where Neil is rich.
Neil has a problem to solve, and all these people play their part in it-will genius starve in a garret, or will material prosperity quench the divine fire?
His friends suggest the safer alternative, but Neil, during sleep, learns the truer way. He dreams - and wakes to find his problem solved.
