The Lights of New York Synopsis
Two distinct stories of New York life are told in this film. In the first, Daniel, a foundling, is given a home by Robert Reid, an East Side pawnbroker. He is a good boy but is led astray by evil companions until a dream shocks him into the realization of what his life may become; Daniel then resolves to "go straight." In the second episode, wealthy Wall Street financier Charles Redding plunges into despair and dereliction after he learns of his fiancée's elopement with another man. Sometime later, a bachelor party of 13 brings him in from the street to alter their number. When the guests urge Redding to tell his life story, it is revealed that the host is the son of Redding's former fiancée. She and Redding are then reunited.
The Sixteenth Wife Synopsis
Though the Turk has 15 wives, he yearns to make our heroine his 16th.
"The Lights of New York" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Sixteenth Wife" offers its own unique cult appeal.
