Broken Homes Synopsis
Young Julia Merritt runs away with an actor, who dies shortly afterwards, leaving her with a young daughter. She leaves the girl with Arlene, the Merritt family housekeeper, swearing her to silence. The local church deacon thinks that Arline is the unwed mother and tries to get her to leave town. Complications ensue.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Broken Homes" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
