„Convention Girl“ is a 1935 comedy film directed by Luther Reed. The screenplay by George Boyle and Max Lief is based on Boyle’s novel of the same name.
A cabaret hostess is broken-hearted because she loves a gambler who does not love her.
Among the regular conventioneers, „Babe“ LaVal is the most-in-demand „convention girl“ among the Atlantic City hostesses, plying their trade on the famed Steel Pier or in the vicinity of the Ritz-Carlton Terrace. She is especially favored by Atlantic City casino-owner Dan Higgins, and Ward Hollister, a Philadelphia soap manufacturer, who isn’t as squeaky clean as his product. She also has time to monitor the relationship between her weird-looking, tap-dancing nephew, Tommy LaVal, and sweet Daisy Miller who, may or may not, be pure as the driven snow. Tommy poses no threat to her purity.
