The Gold Diggers (1919 play)
''The Gold Diggers'' is a play written by Avery Hopwood. It popularized the use of the term "gold digger" to refer to women who seek wealthy partners, as opposed to the earlier usage referring to gold miners. Producer David Belasco staged it on Broadway in 1919, with Ina Claire in the lead role. It was a hit, running for two consecutive seasons before going on tour.
==Plot==
Stephen Lee is a wealthy man who is convinced that the chorus girl engaged to his nephew is a "gold digger" who only wants his nephew's money. Lee turns to Jerry Lamar, another chorus girl that he knows, asking her to convince his nephew to break off the engagement. She takes the opposite tack, trying to convince Lee that not all chorus girls are out for money. Unfortunately for her effort, several of her friends demonstrate that they are as money hungry as Lee fears. Annoyed by Lee's comments, Lamar decides to show him up by getting him drunk and tricking him into proposing to her. Her scheme proves harmless when it turns out that she and Lee really are in love.
