Broadway Daddies is a lost[1] 1928 American silent melodrama film directed by Fred Windemere. It stars Jacqueline Logan, Alec B. Francis, Rex Lease, and was released on April 7, 1928.
Plot
Eve Delmar is a pretty chorus line dancer, who is the center of attention of a group of wealthy admirers. However, she develops feelings for Richard Kennedy, who she assumes is not wealthy, but simply ambitious. Little does she know that Richard is in fact quite wealthy, the son of millionaire John Lambert Kennedy. He chooses not to reveal his status, because he wants Eve to fall in love with him, and not with his money.
When Eve finds out that Richard is wealthy, she feels that he was simply playing with her affections. To get back at him, she agrees to attend a party with another wealthy suitor, James Leech. The party turns quite raucous, and Leech tries to seduce Eve, but she rebuffs him. However, the events of the party appear in the newspaper, and both Richard and his father get the impression that Eve might have misbehaved.
Eve and Richard reconcile, and both he and John Kennedy understand that she did nothing untoward with anyone. This is further backed up when Leech appears and confirms that he had attempted to seduce her, but that she was the perfect lady and did not fall for his advances. Leech tells John that he owes the young lady an apology, and Richard and Eve continue their love affair.
