DJ's Story Synopsis for Re-Creations: “Popular, charming, planning to become an interior decorator, Cornelia Copely is suddenly summoned home from college. She faces a shabby house in a cheap neighborhood, her mother in a sanitarium, her father depressed with financial loss, the younger children sadly neglected, and Carey, her oldest brother and special 'pal,' going a lively pace with Clytie Dodd. Cornelia descends on the household like spring sunlight and her plucky attempt to re-create the old happy atmosphere transforms the dreary outlook.

She begins 'decoration' at home until even Carey is willing to exchange 'jazz parties' for its charm. The most interested observer of Cornelia's experiment is Arthur Maxwell, in whose life is another girl, Evadne, beautiful but shallow, who holds him through his sense of chivalry. It is Clytie who precipitates the danger which shows Maxwell where he stands and brings about the happy ending of two delightful love affairs.”
