A Question of Right Synopsis

Louise Gray marries Mayor Hogan on the belief that he is a clean, upright man. In doing so she rejects the suit of Vance, a city detective, who has been a persistent suitor for her hand. Louise does not know that Hogan is a scheming, crooked politician. She is also unaware of the fact that her own brother. Jim Gray, a degenerate, is blackmailing Hogan because of his relations with another woman. Soon after Louise's marriage to Hogan she learns of his true character. Through the efforts of Detective Vance she sees Hogan accept a big bribe. She determines to expose his real character to his political followers, in spite of the fact that it will mean an end to her happiness. The night Hogan accepts the bribe he is notified by an enthusiastic crowd that calls at his home of his re-nomination for mayor. Louise interrupts Hogan in the midst of his speech of acceptance and denounces him as a crook. Hogan exhibits terrible anger towards Louise later, and threatens her so much that she decides to leave him. As she prepares to leave the house she finds his murdered body in the library. Vance, her former detective lover, calls to cover the case, and in spite of Louise's protestations, believes her guilty of the crime and proceeds to put her through a nerve-wracking "third degree." Louise, her nerves wrecked by the ordeal, finally admits that she has killed Hogan, and faints. At the same moment Gray, Louise's brother, the blackmailer, is discovered in a closet where he had been trapped in trying to escape from the house. He confesses that he has killed Hogan for the latter's refusal to give him blackmail money. Louise is exonerated and Vance remains steadfast in his desire to marry her.

A Trip to the Wonderland of America Synopsis

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.
