Anthony and Cleopatra Synopsis

Cleo's nose, stung by a bee concealed in a bouquet given her by Julius Caesar, swells up and has to be fixed by her beauty doctor, who tries out several shapes before he finds one that appeals to the historical vamp. Anthony arrives on the scene, cuts Caesar out with Cleo and runs away with her down the Nile in his two-oared galley. Caesar sics his pet alligator on the fleeing couple, the boat breaks in half, and Mark manages to capture the reptile. As the two rivals gamble for Cleopatra's hand, she runs off with Ramesis in his Ford chariot, but the machine breaks down and Cleo, like many other girls since, has to walk home.

An Amateur Devil Synopsis

Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
