Bab's Matinee Idol plot

Bab is in love with Adrian, an actor, and cuts his picture out of a newspaper and worships it. A measles epidemic breaks out and Bab is sent home from boarding school. A few days later Bab hears that the play starring her idol is in town, so she borrows money to see a performance with her hero. She writes him a note and he invites her to his dressing room. She learns that unless the show gets more publicity it will close. She arranges with budding publicist Carter Brooks and her father for Adrian to apply for a job in her father's munitions factory, which causes all sorts of trouble.
