The Ace of Cads Synopsis
Chappel and Basil are both officers in the British Guards and also close friends. They both fall in love with Eleanor. Basil is so smitten that he sets up a situation in which Eleanor believes that Chappel has another woman, and she chooses Basil. Chappel, devastated, turns to drink and is soon thrown out of the army in disgrace. Complications ensue.
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.
"The Ace of Cads" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
