Pure Grit Synopsis
Posing as Stella Bolling's brother, whom he has killed, escaped convict Jim Kemp (Jere Austin) persuades Stella (Esther Ralston) to help him escape to the Mexican border. Bob Evans (Roy Stewart), a Texas Ranger, chases them, routs a band of rustlers, captures Kemp, and rescues Stella from a burning cabin.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Pure Grit" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
