- The Rejected Woman is a story of the gay and brilliant life of a rich New York man, and the realization of the poor girl who loves him that she can never win his love in return without the expensive finery and culture of the women of his set. These things she must have because the love of this man is vital to her existence. How she goes about the acquisition of the coveted requisites of her love campaign, and the price she pays form the basis of what is said to be an absorbing drama, swift-moving in its action and illumined by vivid flashes of the inner life of the "Big Town's" crowd of jazzy youngsters.
