Yellow Fingers Synopsis
In the south seas a respected trader, Captain Shane, has a young ward named Saina that he has taken care of since infancy. She is the half caste daughter of the Captain's long dead business partner, but she doesn't know this until she overhears him tell a white girl he is in love with. Siana lashes out and plots to put the girl into the hands of an evil Chinese master criminal.
Yvonne from Paris Synopsis
Successful Parisian dancer Yvonne Halbert grows tired of the overwatchfulness of her aunt and runs away to America. Disguised and hiding out in the steerage of a boat, Yvonne meets violinist Luigi. She dances to Luigi's accompaniment in a Greenwich Village cabaret, where she is discovered by David Marston, the producer who had negotiated to bring the famous Yvonne to America. Marston signs the supposed unknown performer and intends to bill her under the name of Yvonne, whom he believes has broken her contract with him. Apache dancer Cecile claims to be the real Yvonne, but matters are straightened out with the arrival of Aunt Marie. Yvonne marries Lawrence Bartlett, the author of the play that features her in America.
"Yellow Fingers" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Yvonne from Paris" offers its own unique cult appeal.
