Married Alive Synopsis
When a college professor who approves of polygamy among the lower forms of animal life goes to the seashore for a rest, he meets James Duxbury ( Lou Tellegen ) who discloses that he is married to four women. The professor proceeds to inform the wives of this dishonor; one, an actress, doesn't care; the preacher's daughter is duly heartbroken. An old battle-ax proves to be actually married to the scoundrel, thus enabling the professor to marry the fourth, a lady of royalty.
Yvonne from Paris Synopsis
Successful Parisian dancer Yvonne Halbert grows tired of the overwatchfulness of her aunt and runs away to America. Disguised and hiding out in the steerage of a boat, Yvonne meets violinist Luigi. She dances to Luigi's accompaniment in a Greenwich Village cabaret, where she is discovered by David Marston, the producer who had negotiated to bring the famous Yvonne to America. Marston signs the supposed unknown performer and intends to bill her under the name of Yvonne, whom he believes has broken her contract with him. Apache dancer Cecile claims to be the real Yvonne, but matters are straightened out with the arrival of Aunt Marie. Yvonne marries Lawrence Bartlett, the author of the play that features her in America.
"Married Alive" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Yvonne from Paris" offers its own unique cult appeal.
