The City Synopsis
Following the death of Rand, a wealthy reformed criminal, his family moves to the city, and Rand, Jr., becomes a candidate for mayor. Mrs. Rand neglects her family to pursue social ambitions, and Hannock, a dope fiend, dupes Cicely into a marriage. Hannock, who has caused the death of Rand, Sr., and knows of his past, blackmails the politically ambitious son, George. Eventually awakened to his sense of responsibility and self-respect, George faces up to the villain, whose suicide precipitates the family's return to its village environment.
Love Letters Synopsis
Eileen Rodney believes herself in love with Raymond Moreland, who poses as the leader of an oriental cult, but discovers his duplicity in time to avoid the serious consequences of an elopement. She marries her guardian, John Harland, and is happy until Moreland returns and seeks to reopen the affair under threat of exposure. Moreland is killed, and her husband, as District Attorney, takes charge of the case. Her efforts to recover the love letters she wrote Moreland are nearly her undoing, precipitating an unusually thrilling chain of action.
"The City" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Love Letters" offers its own unique cult appeal.
