Royal Poinciana

Mrs. Madeleine Memory is the head housekeeper at Palm Beach's Royal Poinciana Hotel during The Season of 1896-97. She is the hallmark of exemplary efficiency and subdued temperament. When playboy Harrison St. John Loring comes into her life, she recognizes him as her one chance for excitement and, because of the hotel's policy against fraternization between staff and guest, disguises herself as the exotic, exuberant canadienne, Madame Memphis.
