Out of the Chorus Synopsis

After dancer Florence Maddis marries Ross Van Beekman, son of an aristocratic New York family, her friends predict that the union will not be successful, but she manages to fit into the family circle and has no desire to return to Broadway. Her mother-in-law disapproves of her, however, and persuaded by Ned Ormsby, one of Flo's admirers, she arranges for Flo to appear flirtatious. When Ross suspects Flo of harboring Ormsby, he fires a pistol at her closet; and since Ormsby is found shot in his house, Ross confesses, believing himself guilty, while Flo returns to the Winter Palace. Ross is freed, however, when Maddox, an enemy of Ormsby's, confesses to the crime, and Flo is happily reconciled with the family and Ross.

The Girl with the Green Eyes Synopsis

Strolling through the park one evening, Travers comes upon a woman about to throw herself in the lake. It is his sister. She tells him she was betrayed by a man who is her son's father, and she is about to end it all because she is no longer able to endure her destitution. Travers soothes her and promises to take care of her and her son. He furnishes an apartment for them and makes frequent calls there. On one of them he is seen and recognized by Mansfield, a clubman of his, who is infatuated with Mrs. Travers and uses this suspicious, though unconfirmed, incident to try to persuade her to give him her love. Mrs. Travers, made credulous by her insane jealousy of her husband, slightly encourages Mansfield, who, with the bravado of his sort, boasts at the club of his affair with her. Travers hears of this and is uncontrollable. He sends for his sister to come to his dressing room in the theatre, and Mansfield, hearing of it, brings Mrs. Travers to surprise him. Here is the big scene of the play wherein Travers demands of Mansfield an explanation of his conduct, and Travers' sister recognizes Mansfield as the man who deserted her. Travers attempts to kill Mansfield, who is saved by the police. Then Mrs. Travers, learning the identity of "the other woman," and ridden by remorse for the jealousy that has made her doubt her husband and lose his love, attempts to poison herself. She is saved, however, and reunited to her husband by a love whose constant light outshines the occasional flashes from her "green eyes."
