The Triflers Synopsis
Wealthy Marjorie Stockton marries Monte Covington to protect herself from several overeager suitors. While Monte treats the marriage lightly, Marjorie quickly falls in love with her new husband. Peter Noyes, another of Marjorie's suitors, is blinded and she takes pity on him. Monte mistakes Marjorie's attention to Peter as love and decides to leave her. Marjorie declares her love for Monte, and Peter, who has also misinterpreted her actions, shoots them both in a jealous rage. Fortunately for the couple, their wounds are not serious, and they look forward to a bright future together.
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 Triflers" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
