The Ladder of Fortune (1915)
Comedy
Louis d'Angelo, a wandering minstrel, plays before the windows of an Italian's villa. From her casement above him, Delicia drops the rose worn in her hair. An attachment follows. Soon after we find Louis playing for a select gathering at the Romana salon where he makes his first appearance as Signor Romana's protégé. Love has already interceded in his behalf. A constant admirer of Delicia and aspirant for her hand, Colonel Navarro, takes exception to the attentions of Louis and upon a certain occasion tells Delicia how he feels. She promptly silences him and he insults her. Louis, rushing to her defense, meets with opposition.
