Marquitta Synopsis
Street singer Marquitta is Prince Vlasco's mistress. He overlooks her humble origins until an expensive jewelry disappears and she gets blamed. He throws her out. Some time later, Vlasco looses his throne and becomes a beggar. Marquitta finds him, helps him and triggers another fit of anger when she gives him the jewel back. She leaves him, but cannot stay mad at him long and rescues him from an attempted suicide and reveals the thief is actually her father.
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.
"Marquitta" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
