Making a Man Synopsis
Wealthy, snobbish, patronizing Horace Winsby is refused by Patricia Owens, then must leave his California valley because of restiveness by farmers whose mortgages he is foreclosing. In New York Horace runs up large bills, cannot pay them when his wallet is stolen, is put out of his hotel, and finally is helped by Shorty, a park bum. Patricia and her father come to New York and find a changed Horace washing dishes, and everything is resolved.
Children of the Feud Synopsis
Mountaineer Pap Clayton has promised his daughter Sairy Ann (Dorothy Gish) to his cousin Jed Martin, but Sairy Ann loves Dr. Richard Cavanagh (Sam DeGrasse), the son of Judge Lee Cavanagh. In the midst of a feud between the Claytons and the Jacksons, a jealous Jed sets out to kill Richard. Jed shoots a deputy who gets in his way and is taken before Judge Cavanagh, whom the Claytons have threatened to kill if Jed is convicted. The Claytons are true to their word when Cavanagh finds him guilty, and Richard immediately vows to kill Jed, who has escaped. Sairy Ann, however, reminds Richard that he has railed against family feuding and has said that only the law can take a life. A sobered Richard captures Jed and hands him over to authorities; then, after he has forgiven the Claytons, he and Sairy Ann become engaged.
"Making a Man" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Children of the Feud" offers its own unique cult appeal.
