The Marriage Cheat Synopsis
Helen Canfield leaps from the pleasure yacht of her philandering husband and is picked up by natives of a South Seas island. There she falls in love with missionary Paul Mayne and gives birth to her husband's baby. When Canfield returns for her, Paul reluctantly gives her up. During a storm, however, the husband is drowned, and the lovers are then reunited.
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 Marriage Cheat" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
