The plot concerns a cute country girl named Mary Jane (Mary Hay) who applies for a job in the Dunns’ offices. Although she is a good stenographer, they are concerned about hiring her because she is too pretty for Andrew Dunn, Jr. (Stanley Ridges). She gets the job by slicking down her bobbed hair and putting on goggles. Later, after Mr. Dunn Sr. (James Heenan) fires Jr., Mary Jane goes into business with Jr. and get betrothed in the last act. Opening night of Mary Jane McKane was also the inaugural performance for the new Imperial Theater at 45th Street, west of Broadway. The New York Times reported that Miss Hay “emerged, let it be recorded, as a sweet, comely, tuneful and most appealing heroine.” (en) |
