poster Just Around the Corner (Frances Marion, US 1921)
The nightlife, the theatres, the cafés, the neon advertisements, the showbiz glamour… there’s nothing Essie finds more attractive. So she's delighted when she manages to get a job as an usherette in a small, run-down theatre. She then falls in love with the unreliable Joe. Essie’s sick mother really wants to meet her daughter’s finance, but he never appears – so a stranger takes his place.
