Daytime Wives (1923)
A TIMELY WARNING Breakfast with your husband-darn his socks, sew on his buttons-sympathize with him always, pamper him occasionally.
Ruth Holt is the efficient private secretary to young architect Elwood Adams. Her polar opposite is Adams' indolent, spendthrift wife Francine, faults which Adams, blinded by his love for her, doesn’t see. Looking to cause trouble, a lounge lizard acquaintance of Francine’s spreads gossip to make her jealous of Ruth.
