The Valley of the Giants Synopsis
Bryce Cardigan struggles to protect his Redwood inheritance from a railroad-owner, who is also the guardian of the woman Bryce loves.
The Price of Fame Synopsis
They were twins, and the passing years had in the sifting melting-pot of life. William looms brilliantly, a success, while John is deep in the discouraging shadows, a failure. Another span of fleeting years, and William attains the summit of a meteoric career; he is a candidate for the United States Senate. John (under an assumed name so that his brother is spared the relationship of the black sheep) holds a modest newspaper position in the same city where William's campaign is centered. William falls sick and John, taking advantage of their resemblance, addresses an important meeting and sweeps the audience into frenzied enthusiasm. Sensing in John that which she has always missed in William, the latter's sweetheart confesses her love, thinking, of course, that she is speaking to William. Soon John finds himself facing the fact that he loves his brother's sweetheart. Fate's law is Heaven's justice; William is found dead by John, and what would have been his brother's now becomes John's, as a reward to his genius.
"The Valley of the Giants" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Price of Fame" offers its own unique cult appeal.
