The Jealousy Phenomenon

Few films from 1914 manage to capture to leave an indelible mark on the history of France film.

Jules Leroux, a wealthy hanker, lived in Paris with his three daughters, Alice, Jeanne, and Helen. Alice was engaged to be married to Robert Durand, but owing to her father losing most of his money in a bank failure, her fiancé broke the engagement. Leroux was compelled to retire to his country estate, where he took up his residence with the three girls. One day, while Helen was on a jaunt on horseback, she encountered the Marquis de la Tour, who was smitten by her beauty. He sought an introduction to her and after a short courtship, succeeded in winning her. Helen's good fortune only served to arouse pangs of jealousy in her sister, Alice, who had been jilted. About this time a young nobleman, Raoul de Gordes, became a frequent visitor at Leroux's home and paid homage to the unmarried sisters, Jeanne and Alice. But the former's charms gradually won him and he fell a victim to Cupid's wiles. His suit being favored by Jeanne, he wrote to her father, asking his consent to their marriage. But as his letter failed to state which sister he meant, Leroux assumed it to be Alice, who was the elder, and accordingly showed her the letter and offered her his blessing. Consternation reigned, however, when de Gordes arrived and stated that it was Jeanne to whom his attentions were directed. Then was Alice enraged indeed, and secretly vowed vengeance. When Jeanne and her husband returned from their honeymoon, it chanced that Leroux was suddenly called hack to Paris. He requested Jeanne to consent to having Alice live with her till his return, which she eagerly agreed to. When Alice arrived, she was given a hearty greeting. While passing through the conservatory Jeanne's husband pointed out to the sisters a poisonous tree, whose sap was considered very deadly. Alice took a peculiar interest in the tree. Soon after this Jeanne was suddenly stricken with a mysterious malady and in spite of all the doctor's efforts, she slowly became worse. While in the gardens one day, De Gordes saw Alice cautiously enter the conservatory and followed her. Watching, he saw her extract some juice from the poison tree and suddenly realized her intentions. He confided his suspicions to her father and the doctor and they determined to catch her at her nefarious work. When they accused her of evil intentions, she laughed at their accusations and drank the contents of a small phial which she had, to prove her innocence. This seemed to satisfy them and she passed into another room. But the deadly poison, which she had taken, began to take effect. She wrote her confession and sent a servant with it to her father. Hastily summoning De Gordes and the doctor, he followed her to the conservatory, but arrived just as she had passed into eternity. The mystery was solved and Jeanne recovered. But she never learned the secret of her sister's tragic death or her own narrow escape.

1. A Trip to the Wonderland of America 1909

Dir: Unknown Director

This fascinating region was set apart as a Government Reservation, to be known as Yellowstone Park, in 1S72. The park proper is about 62 miles long, from north to south, and 54 miles wide. While the tourist may reach the park entrance by rail, it has been decreed by Uncle Sam that beyond the Great Lava Arch Gateway the iron horse shall not trespass. So here leaving the pathway of steel we take our place on one of the six-horse coaches that run from Gardiner up to Mammoth Hot Springs. Coaching, Troops, Morris Basin, Great Fountain, Pack mules, Riverside Geyser, Old Faithful, Deer and Bear, Upper Falls, Canyon, Field Glasses. Standing on a balcony at Artist's Point we take up the field glass to have a tele-photo panorama of these weird walls with their clinging pine trees. We look down the Great Gorge. On either side walls of exquisite color rise with here and there pinnacle-like great church spires. Above our heads fly eagles who build their nests and raise their young on the top of these lofty peaks. The scene is a powerful one and beyond words, but the Great Falls add force and quality of action which tempers and dignities the whole scene. This enormous volume of water that looks like a curtain of lace, tumbles over a cliff of volcanic rock 310 feet. Here the traveler finds himself spellbound, held by the pure beauty of the scene. In turning away he pauses to marvel at the wonders of nature and the beauties of our great national playground.
