A Mother's Sin Synopsis

Because of his close resemblance to his mother, who years earlier had left his father for another man, Patrick Yardley is shunned and finally disinherited. Yardley, Sr., prefers his young nephew, Vincent Tessier, who has ingratiated himself to the old man, and has been bequeathed his entire estate. Learning that Patrick is penniless, the mother of his sweetheart, Celia Graham, urges her daughter to abandon him in favor of Vincent. Having lost everything, Patrick leaves England, but in his absence, his father discovers that Vincent, masquerading as Patrick, has betrayed a young woman. Remorsefully, Yardley prepares a new will, but because he dies before presenting it to his lawyer, everything is left to Vincent. Later, however, a friend discovers the final will, and Vincent is ousted from the estate and later killed by Maxton, Patrick's valet. Finally, Celia, who loved Patrick all along, joins him.

The Venturers Synopsis

The one was a venturer; the other an adventurer--the one a man who wanted to see adventure, but who had never been beyond the city limits; the other a man who had seen adventure in all parts of the world, and who assured the venturer that things were just as monotonous every place in the world as in the city. So they met, each seeking for the unconventional on a New York street, and dined together as men out of luck, with two cents between them--and still nothing happened. They both had credit at the hotel. Then into their lives came the feminine influence: a sweet girl who lived in a house which was irrevocably a household. The adventurer hesitated--he had yet to satisfy his longing for the incalculable. Suddenly, love changed the venturer into an adventurer, and settled the adventurer into a venturer.
