Through Phil's father, he finally manages to contact Phil. Uriah comes to New York in search of his granddaughter. In fact, Jenny takes her hints to mean that Phil is in love with her, but is unwilling to start a relationship until he is established as a painter. When Phil is unable to disillusion Jenny, Tippie offers to do so, but cannot either. Worse, Jenny assumes the play is a serious production, whereas Phil knows that Archie intends to draw laughs from the audience with the hopelessly old-fashioned play. Phil tries to discourage Jenny from pursuing her unrealistic dreams by sending her to see Archie, but his plan backfires when she is hired to replace Lillian. They both rent rooms from "Tippie" Tipton. When he finds the stowaway, he does not have enough gas to take her home, so he reluctantly takes her to New York.
The company is leaving that night, so she hides in the rumble seat of Phil's car. When she returns home, she finds the door locked, and assumes her grandfather has thrown her out. As a result, Jenny is disappointed when she finds another play being performed that night.
She complains that she has not been paid for six weeks. Meanwhile, producer Archer Fisher is dissatisfied with the performance of actress Lillian Temple in the role of a young innocent girl. However, Michael locks it again after he leaves. When Uriah finds her gone, he carries through with his threat, but then changes his mind and unlocks the door. She mistakenly believes that live-in young hired hand Michael Arbuckle betrayed her, and promises him that she will tell her grandfather about his own misdeeds. When Uriah finds a playbill, he forbids her to go out and threatens to lock her out if she disobeys his orders.
