Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Vaudeville Synopsis
A vaudeville revue is presented. Ray and Sunshine perform a high spirited acrobatic routine, demonstrating both their strength and flexibility. Chaz Chase then performs a comic routine, demonstrating what one can consume besides traditional foods. Next, The Holman Sisters, sitting back-to-back, perform a fast paced two-piano duet, each often playing both pianos at the same time. Finally, the headline act, Al Trahan, tries to raise the sophistication of the show in his piano-vocal duet with a coloratura. It is questionable if he achieves his goal.
Children of the Feud Synopsis
Mountaineer Pap Clayton has promised his daughter Sairy Ann (Dorothy Gish) to his cousin Jed Martin, but Sairy Ann loves Dr. Richard Cavanagh (Sam DeGrasse), the son of Judge Lee Cavanagh. In the midst of a feud between the Claytons and the Jacksons, a jealous Jed sets out to kill Richard. Jed shoots a deputy who gets in his way and is taken before Judge Cavanagh, whom the Claytons have threatened to kill if Jed is convicted. The Claytons are true to their word when Cavanagh finds him guilty, and Richard immediately vows to kill Jed, who has escaped. Sairy Ann, however, reminds Richard that he has railed against family feuding and has said that only the law can take a life. A sobered Richard captures Jed and hands him over to authorities; then, after he has forgiven the Claytons, he and Sairy Ann become engaged.
"Vaudeville" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Children of the Feud" offers its own unique cult appeal.
