Edgar's Sunday Courtship Synopsis
On the way to Sunday school, Edgar meets the lady of his heart--and his hated rival. The Sunday-school lesson on David and Goliath so intrigues Edgar that he sees himself as David, saving the entire school, sweetheart and rival included, from Goliath's sword. Edgar's answer to the teacher's question proves his straying thoughts. As a result he is placed on the platform, where he sees himself descending to the "lower regions" as the "worst boy in the school." Edgar's Sunday adventures end with him at peace with the world, after two helpings of pie.
As Men Love Synopsis
Diana Gordon a socialite, falls madly in love with Dr. Paul Russell, her husband Keith's best friend. Russell, however, is in love with Keith's sister Marjorie, who is spending the winter with the Gordons. Overhearing Russell's proposal to Marjorie, Diana is extremely jealous and when alone with the physician, throws herself into his arms. At that moment, Gordon enters the room, and to protect Diana's reputation, Russell takes the blame and is banished from the house. Sometime later, polio sweeps the city and Russell becomes an expert in treating the disease. The Gordon's young daughter is stricken and Diana summons the physician, but Gordon forbids him to enter their home. In order to save her child, Diana reveals the truth to her husband and sister-in-law. All are then reconciled and the little girl recovers.
"Edgar's Sunday Courtship" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "As Men Love" offers its own unique cult appeal.
