Summary
July 1921. Irene Van Beck has just jumped off a moving train to escape her fate in a traveling burlesque show. When her friends, fellow dancer Millie Martin and comedian Henry Weiss, leap after her, the trio finds their way to the bright lights of Hollywood with hopes of making it big in the burgeoning silent film industry. Hollywood in the 1920s seems iridescent, scandalous, and utterly exhilarating, and the three friends yearn for a life they could only have dreamed of before. But success doesn't come easy, and Irene, Millie, and Henry face poverty, temptation, and heartbreak. -- adapted from back cover
