Kohner's escape from her racial identity takes the form of dancing in nightclubs; although the chorus lines are all white, this is a form of show business traditionally open to fls as opposed to the "legitimate" theater of Turner's career.

Moore chases Kohner to Hollywood, where she finally agrees never to embarrass her daughter again by being seen with her.
