Reputation Synopsis
Actress Fay McMillan finds her child, Pauline, whom she deserted years ago, in an orphanage, but Monty, her financer, objects to her taking the girl back. In Paris, France, she becomes a sensation as "Laura Figlan." While intoxicated, however, she cancels her American engagement. Meanwhile, her daughter, having left the orphanage and "inherited" her mother's talent, tries to substitute for Laura and carries out the impersonation successfully. The mother, now a dope addict, hears of the imposture and comes to the theater and shoots Dan Frawley, leaving Pauline to take the blame. As Pauline is about to be sentenced, Laura discovers that she is aiding in the prosecution of her own child, and after writing a confession, she kills herself.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Synopsis
A French professor and his daughter accompany Captain Nemo on an adventure aboard a submarine.
"Reputation" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" offers its own unique cult appeal.
