Tricks of Life Synopsis
A love-drama conflict about a young man of high social standing who falls in love with a circus girl and meets strong parental opposition. Played at the 'Teatro Campoamor' in New York City in March of 1935.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"Tricks of Life" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
