Marriage License? Synopsis
Wanda Heriot, a Canadian girl, is married to Marcus, an English nobleman whose family, dominated by ancestral traditions, rejects her as an outsider. Through the scheming of Lady Heriot, the girl's friendship with an elderly man is misrepresented; and following a divorce, her child is declared illegitimate. After years of self-sacrifice, Wanda has met and fallen in love with Paul. Her ex-husband, Marcus, discovers that his son, Robin, has grown to manhood in France and wants to become a soldier. To give an honorable name to her son, she sacrifices her happiness with Paul and agrees to remarry her repentant ex-husband.
Who Is to Blame? Synopsis
Charmed by the bright smile of Taro San, a Japanese rickshaw boy, Grant Barton takes the young man to the United States as his valet. Grant marries Marion Craig, but when she departs for California to visit her sick mother, he becomes enamored of Tonia Marsh, a vamp. Marion discovers them together and leaves Grant, whereupon Taro resolves to help his kind employer out of his difficulties. Persuading Tonia that he is a member of the imperial family of Japan, Taro pays court to the adventuress, and when Grant finds them in each other's arms, he immediately fires Taro. Grant and Marion are reconciled, while Taro sadly returns to Japan.
"Marriage License?" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Who Is to Blame?" offers its own unique cult appeal.
