Marry in Haste Synopsis
A wealthy Wyomingite disowns his son, Wayne Sturgis (William Fairbanks), for marrying art student Joan Prescott (Dorothy Revier). After several years on a small farm, Joan begins to suffer from disillusion, unhappiness, and poor health. The marriage is nearly ruined by the attentions that Monte Brett (Gladden James), a neighbor, pays Joan. Wayne struggles to make good and is eventually rewarded when his father forgives him and welcomes the young couple home.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"Marry in Haste" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
