| The American millionaire's daughter Julie King (played by Marguerite Snow, left) shows the way out to J.

The note Brice holds reads, "Mr. A. Courtleigh Brice: Sir: No member of the King family would demean herself by marrying a man who is a traitor to her country. So go back to Europe and stay there. Yours with emphasis, Theo. King." |

| "Reel Life," May 15, 1915: "J. Courtleigh Brice, son of a self-made father, lives abroad where he does little except spend the money his father has left and lament the fact that he is not of noble birth. Some business connected with his estate brings him back to America. On the wharf he is buttonholed by reporters, who put him down as one who finds American women 'loud,' and quote his declaration that he will marry no one except 'a titled gentlewoman.' The interview especially entertains a certain Julie King, in Brice's home town. She happens to have visiting her, a princess from abroad, and the two put their heads together to give the young man a shock. On J. Courtleigh's arrival, they exchange names and titles. In due time, the misguided Brice proposes to the American girl, who, he supposes, is the princess. When his house of cards comes crashing down upon his head, and the young millionaire finds out how he has been duped, he returns, thoroughly disgusted, on the next boat to Europe." |
