Title: The Philadelphian
Description: Tony Laurence's great-grandmother was an ambitious Irish lass who came to Philadelphia as a servant girl. She began the family's upward social climb. Tony's grandmother and mother painfully continued the climb. Tony is a nice boy from the right side of the tracks who lacks money. He can make it to the top of the Philadelphia heap if he chooses the right profession, acquires ten million dollars, and marries a delightful girl with the right bloodlines. And, of course, if he avoids scandal.
