The Law Forbids Synopsis
Paul and Rhoda Remsen, having marital difficulties, separate; and each is awarded their child Peggy for six months of the year. Rhoda and the child move to a farm town, while Paul remains in the big city to write a play for actress Inez Lamont, who is in love with him. Peggy knows that her mother still loves Paul, so she flees to the big city to explain the situation to her father. When Rhoda learns Peggy's whereabouts she comes to the city and views Paul's play, which is interrupted by a series of antics by Peggy's lunatic rooster. Inez, furious, stomps out after the performance and leaves Paul and Rhoda to reunite.
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 Law Forbids" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
