The Infamous Miss Revell Synopsis
Twin sisters Julien and Paula Revell, compelled to support their younger brothers and sisters after their father's death, are unable to get a booking for their musical act, and Julien accepts the "protection" of a man of wealth in return for a home for her family. When her protector dies, she inherits his fortune for her lifetime or until she marries. Max Hildreth, an underpaid teacher, and his sister Lillian, a clerk in a store, are hired to teach the Revell children. Lillian urges Max to marry the heiress to get possession of her fortune, but Max--though he has fallen in love with Julien--hesitates to declare himself. It appears that Julien's infamous past stands between them until it is revealed that Julien died shortly after her protector died and that the girl with whom Max is in love is actually Paula.
Chains of Evidence Synopsis
Edith Sturgis, the daughter of a judge, returns from studies abroad to find her widowed father remarried. The new Mrs. Sturgis does not reveal that she has a son Dick, once unjustly jailed by Judge Sturgis, but now working as a reporter while still maintaining an association with the Brownlow gang. Quarrelling with her stepmother, Edith leaves home, meets Dick and falls in love. While Dr. and Mrs. Allen (whom Edith met on the steamer) are visiting in the Sturgis home, the doctor's valuable radium is stolen from the safe, and Judge Sturgis is found murdered. Dick, though with Edith at the time, is accused of the crime. Finally, an old shoemaker confesses that he entered the house to steal the radium, with which to cure his crippled son, and witnessed the judge's slaying by the Brownlow gang. Dick is freed and finds happiness with Edith, and the doctor helps the crippled boy.
"The Infamous Miss Revell" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Chains of Evidence" offers its own unique cult appeal.
