David Compton leaves his expectant French girlfriend Louise Boucher, a dancer at the Moulin Rouge, for the war where he loses his memory. Building a new life from scratch after the war, he gets married in London. Louise, now a mother, thinks him dead. She becomes a famous dancer under the name Deloryse but falls gravely ill. One night, as David is in the audience of her show, he recovers his memory. After she learns that David is married to another woman, Louise puts her son in the care of David's new wife and, accepting a dancing job at a party, she dies there of exhaustion and sorrow.
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.
"Woman to Woman" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
