The Manicure Girl is a 1925 American silent romantic drama film directed by Frank Tuttle and starring Bebe Daniels.[1][2]
Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] a poor young manicurist becomes engaged to a poor young man who has saved enough money to build a bungalow to live in after they are married. The young woman craves riches and becomes interested in a married man who treats her gentlemanly and kindly. This "other" man is becoming estranged from his wife. The manicurist realizes her own influence in wrecking the marriage and, in sympathy with the wife, she effects a reconciliation between the two. Her fianced lover quarrels with her, but there is a happy ending when the two decide to hasten their marriage.
