Love Letters Synopsis
Two sisters, Evelyn Jefferson and Julia Crossland, meet rakish Thomas Chadwick, to whom, as young girls, they both wrote passionate love letters. Evelyn is unsuccessful in her attempts to retrieve the letters, which Chadwick keeps in a Morocco box. Finally Chadwick is killed by the brother of one of his discarded mistresses. The contents of the box, when opened, appear to have been destroyed, and both women are mollified.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Love Letters" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
