Viviette Synopsis

Viviette, the impulsive, coquettish adopted daughter of wealthy Englishwoman Mrs. Ware, completes her education and returns to her mother's country estate. Young Dick Ware, who is as impulsive as Viviette, falls passionately in love with her, and although she is attracted to him, his lack of ambition causes her to conceal her affections. When Dick's sober, successful brother Austin takes leave from his London law practice to visit his family, Viviette befriends him, and the two secretly make plans to secure Dick a position in Vancouver. Although Austin loves Kathryn Holroyd, Dick believes that Austin is in love with Viviette, so when the latter jokingly suggests that the brothers fight a duel over her, Dick takes the idea seriously. He nearly kills Austin, whereupon Viviette, realizing the gravity of the situation, offers to accompany Dick to Vancouver as his wife.

The Last of the Ingrams Synopsis

Jules Ingram ( William Desmond ), the sole survivor of an old Puritan family, seeks solace and forgetfulness in drink. Unable to pay his debts, Jules is driven from his house when banker Rufus Moore ( Robert McKim ) forecloses on the mortgage. Offered shelter by Mercy Reed ( Margery Wilson ), a woman who in her youth naively sinned and has remained rejected by the community ever since, Jules begins to reform. Climbing his way back to respectability, Jules attends church with Mercy, causing a storm of protest. Moore's wife Agnes urges the mob to violence, and as they attempt to tar and feather Jules and Mercy, Mercy delivers an eloquent speech condemning Moore as her betrayer. The mob then takes Moore as their victim, leaving Jules and Mercy in peace.
