ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Jeremy Bradford, the captain of an ocean liner, visits his teenaged daughter named Polly, and takes her to see a performance of the opera Aida. Polly is entranced by the singing talents of Olaf Eriksen and Zita Romanka.
Upon learning that Olaf and Zita will be passengers on her father’s voyage to Rio de Janeiro, she begs her father to come along, but Captain Bradford says no. He is furious when he eventually discovers that Polly is on board his ship as a stowaway, and he puts her to work in the ship’s galley.
Also on board is Laura Dene, a jilted bride, and her fiancé Charles, who can’t decide if he wants to marry her. Polly and Laura become friends, though Laura isn’t aware at first that Polly is the captain’s daughter. Captain Bradford forgives Polly for stowing away, and he allows her to sing a duet with Olaf aboard ship. Polly is equally pleased when her father develops a romantic interest in Laura, which turns out to be mutual.
