Romance and Arabella Synopsis

Arabella Cadenhouse, a young widow, decides that her second husband must provide her with the romance that was lacking in her first marriage. She is wooed by Harry Atteridge, an unconventional westerner, until her neighbor Bill, who has loved Arabella since childhood, produces a series of counter-irritants, including Claude Estabrook, a faddist disciple of free love, Peter Harper, a callow youth and Doctor Henry, an absent-minded scientist. Each time Arabella shows signs of becoming too interested in another man, Bill produces another counter-irritant. One by one Arabella's illusions of romance are shattered, until she finally turns to her childhood friend and accepts Bill's offer of marriage.

The Last of the Ingrams Synopsis

Jules Ingram ( William Desmond ), the sole survivor of an old Puritan family, seeks solace and forgetfulness in drink. Unable to pay his debts, Jules is driven from his house when banker Rufus Moore ( Robert McKim ) forecloses on the mortgage. Offered shelter by Mercy Reed ( Margery Wilson ), a woman who in her youth naively sinned and has remained rejected by the community ever since, Jules begins to reform. Climbing his way back to respectability, Jules attends church with Mercy, causing a storm of protest. Moore's wife Agnes urges the mob to violence, and as they attempt to tar and feather Jules and Mercy, Mercy delivers an eloquent speech condemning Moore as her betrayer. The mob then takes Moore as their victim, leaving Jules and Mercy in peace.
