Piccadilly (1929)
In London, Mabel Greenfield (Gilda Gray) and her partner Victor Smiles (Cyrill Ritchard) are the lead attractions of the Piccadilly Club with their show of dance, bringing the high-society to watch them dancing and have dinner. Victor is in love with Mabel but she has an affair with the owner of the club Valentine Wilmot (Jameson Thomas). When a client irritated with a dirty plate disturbs the show, Valentine investigates the restaurant and the kitchen, and he finally ends in the scullery where he sees the Chinese dishwasher Shosho (Anna May Wong) dancing on a table and the other employees watching her instead of working. Valentine fires Shosho first and then he fires Victor. However, Mabel alone is incapable to hold the clients and Valentine invites the exotic Shosho to dance in Piccadilly Club. She is acclaimed by the audience and has favorable reviews and sooner she catches Valentine; the envious and jealous Mabel decides to pay a visit to Shosho to tell her that she is in love with Valentine, and a tragedy happens.
