Every Man's Wife Synopsis
Mr. and Mrs. Randolph are newly wed, and she, being of a jealous nature, is looking for the slightest hint of infidelity in her husband. One morning, he leaves for the office early and sees a cat, which closely resembles one that lately ran away from his wife. He follows the cat and discovers that it belongs to Mrs. Bradin, a comely neighbor, with whom he briefly chats. Mrs. Randolph sees them together and suspects her husband of infidelity, soon making his life so miserable that he takes up residence at his club. Mrs. Randolph, convinced of the righteousness of her wrath, then invites both her husband and the Bradins to a party, hoping to catch Mr. Randolph making love to Mrs. Bradin. Randolph proves himself to be the model of fidelity and attentiveness, and Mr. Bradin tries to seduce his own wife, mistaking her for Mrs. Randolph in the half light. Mr. and Mrs. Randolph are reunited, renewing their marriage on a better foundation of trust and understanding.
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.
"Every Man's Wife" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
