Look Your Best , 1923 February 18

Perla Quaranta, an underfed Italian-American dancer, is hired for Carlo Bruni’s "Butterfly Act" to replace a chorus girl who has grown too heavy. While touring with the troupe, Perla gains weight after several dinners with a stagehand named Krug. When Perla rejects him as a suitor, Krug causes one of Perla's flight wires to break during a performance, hoping she will be fired for being too heavy. Instead, Bruni beats Krug, a felony for which he spends thirty days in jail. Following his release, Bruni produces a new dance act with Perla as the star. The couple marry, each encouraging the other in their struggle against food. AFI
