Many of them cling precariously to their social positions with only one figure, the wealthy self-made businessman Mr Wright, being truly successful. The house is owned by the grasping Mrs Sharpe, who mistreats the <a href="/wiki/Maid" title="Maid">maid</a>, Stasia, a rehabilitated <a href="/wiki/Juvenile_delinquent" class="mw-redirect" title="Juvenile delinquent">juvenile delinquent</a>. The members of the household are miserable and openly sneering and rude towards each other, the one exception being the respect shown by all to the powerful Mr Wright. In the case of one couple, Major Tomkin and his wife, this involves pressuring their daughter, Vivian, to marry Wright in spite of her obvious horror at the idea. </p><p>The house's familiar routine is thrown off-balance when a mysterious foreigner (secretly an <a href="/wiki/Angel" title="Angel">angel</a>), takes up residence. In time, he earns the respect of the others in the house, especially Stasia. He takes a room on the "third floor back" and joins the residents for a dinner being held in celebration of the engagement between Wright and Vivian. It becomes evident that she does not want to marry Wright because she is in love with one of the other lodgers, and she storms out of the room. The desperate Major later tries to convince Wright that it is a misunderstanding and that the engagement is still on. He and his wife are terrified by the loss of security if the marriage is broken off. </p><p>The stranger observes the meanness shown by the other members of the house, and gently encourages them to treat each other better and to pursue their dreams rather than live in fear about their precarious social positions. This gradually begins to work, as some of the house's residents are convinced by his charisma. On a <a href="/wiki/Bank_holiday" title="Bank holiday">bank holiday</a>, the stranger announces that he will treat them all to a boat trip to <a href="/wiki/Margate" title="Margate">Margate</a>, surprising the more snobbish residents by insisting that the servants, including Stasia, join them. Despite the initial awkwardness, the outing soon begins to go well. When Stasia falls in the River Thames, one of the women jumps in to save her life. Once Stasia is rescued, she is looked after by the Tomkins, who treat her as though she were their daughter. They also begin to regret their bullying of their own daughter into a marriage with Wright. During the trip, various members of the household begin to enjoy themselves and treat each other with more respect. </p><p>Wright resents this change, and he spitefully begins to wreck the stranger's attempts to reform the guests. The next day, the inhabitants return to their previous unhappy existence and resume fighting. Wright taunts the stranger by demonstrating how easily he has corrupted them through the simple power of his money. The stranger tries to convince Wright that he, too, should try to seek a better and happier life, but Wright rejects this. Their dispute develops into a moral battle between the stranger's goodness and Wright's evil. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Passing_of_the_Third_Floor_Back&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Conrad_Veidt" title="Conrad Veidt">Conrad Veidt</a> as <a href="/wiki/Guardian_Angel" class="mw-redirect" title="Guardian Angel">The Stranger</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anna_Lee" title="Anna Lee">Anna Lee</a> as Vivian</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Rene_Ray" class="mw-redirect" title="Rene Ray">Rene Ray</a> as 'Stasia</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frank_Cellier_(actor)" title="Frank Cellier (actor)">Frank Cellier</a> as Wright</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Turnbull_(actor)" title="John Turnbull (actor)">John Turnbull</a> as Major Tomkins</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cathleen_Nesbitt" title="Cathleen Nesbitt">Cathleen Nesbitt</a> as Mrs. Tomkin</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ronald_Ward_(actor)" title="Ronald Ward (actor)">Ronald Ward</a> as Chris Penny</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Beatrix_Lehmann" title="Beatrix Lehmann">Beatrix Lehmann</a> as Miss Kite</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jack_Livesey" title="Jack Livesey">Jack Livesey</a> as Mr. Larkcom</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sara_Allgood" title="Sara Allgood">Sara Allgood</a> as Mrs. de Hooley</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mary_Clare" title="Mary Clare">Mary Clare</a> as Mrs. Sharpe</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Barbara_Everest" title="Barbara Everest">Barbara Everest</a> as Cook</li> <li>Alexander Sarner as The gramophone man</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Knight_(actor)" title="James Knight (actor)">James Knight</a> as The police inspector</li></ul> <p>1908 play – London theatre cast: </p><p>Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson as The Stranger;
