The Tongues of Men

“"An exquisite love story of an unwarranted attack upon the character of a Grand Opera Diva who specializes in sensational roles."”

Synopsis

Rev. Dr. Penfield Sturgis, of fashionable St. Martins-in-the-Lane, finds himself face to face with Jane Bartlett, a grand opera prima donna whose opera he has denounced on grounds of morality, and who comes to his very vestry room to make him "eat his sermon word for word."
