Henri’s love for the lady becomes known to the members of the cast. The stage manager writes a message from her to Henri, and the super, hardly able to believe his luck, puts on his one suit after the show and leaves to meet his love. However, as he reaches the door and opens it, he is cmersed with a deluge of water. His only suit is ruined. Crestfallen he strikes upon the idea to wear his costume, and forthwith dons it. At a restaurant, the Tiger Lady is dining with her three admirers. Henri enters garbed as a Rajah, and waiters flo.k to his service. Henri accompanies the Tiger Lady to her hotel. In her room she tells him that to prove his love he must enter a tiger’s cage and retrieve her glove. By a stroke of good fortune, the tiger dies during the night, and Henri enters the cage, places his foot on the animal, who lies prone on the cage floor, and strikes a pose for the Tiger Lady’s benefit. Henri, however, now seeing she loves the man whom she thinks he is, and not really what he is, tells her that the tiger was dead. She disbelieves him. He also tells her he is only an actor, and not deserving of her love with her station in life. She also disbelieves this, but the next day Henri at rehearsal sees a new girl in the chorus, and she is revealed as the Tiger Lady. Having lowered herself to his level, there is nothing left for them to do but accept each other, which they do. Coming Tuesday.
