Love's Protegé Synopsis
While hunting in the mountains, Larry Armond rescues Ruth, a mountain girl who lives with her guardian, a religious recluse. After her guardian dies, Ruth, who has fallen in love with Larry, goes with her donkey in search of him and by chance comes to his summer retreat in the foothills. Her manners are ridiculed by Larry's house guests and her presence causes an embarrassing situation between Larry's friend Jack Keith and Jack's fiancée's family, the Colemans. After she is taken into the home of the Colemans, Ruth leaves to go back to the mountains because they are unfriendly to her. When it is learned that Ruth is really J. W. Coleman's daughter who was kidnapped fifteen years earlier in revenge for a supposed injustice, she is brought back and lovingly accepted into the family.
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.
"Love's Protegé" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
