The Wanderer

Apr 07, 1913
In the valley the world's best "eternal triangle" is being worked between a husband, a much younger wife and "one who covets." On the heights, the shepherd hears the call and for the nonce becomes a wanderer, and descends into the valley of Passions and Pain. It is the gentle, unfelt, almost unseen influence of the wanderer that stops a maddened husband from first murder and then suicide; exposes the frailty of a wife to her own consideration, and points out to her the grim consequences of a moment's folly, and finally takes the "one who covets" away from the born passions of the valley a far journey up the heights, and disaster to three souls.

Le Dr Jekyll aux cheveux blancs s'est secrètement enfermé dans son laboratoire, s'administrant une fiole de formule. Il s'affale sur sa chaise, la tête sur sa poitrine. Alors que le médicament fait lentement effet, une bête aux cheveux noirs, aux griffes et aux deux grands crocs apparaît sur la chaise. Après une utilisation répétée, l'alter ego maléfique de Jekyll émerge à volonté, faisant tomber une petite fille dans la rue et allant jusqu'à assassiner le père de sa petite amie (le pasteur local). La personnalité maléfique retourne en courant au laboratoire pour découvrir que l'antidote est terminé et qu'il devra rester à jamais M. Hyde. Un policier costaud enfonce la porte de Jekyll avec une hache pour trouver le gentil docteur mort d'avoir bu du poison.

His Hour of Triumph

Oct 30, 1913
Leonard Dare, a producer, finds himself without a player strong enough to enact the part of Philip Dawany, one of the important characters of the cast. His company is temporarily dismissed and he returns home. Derwent Hall calls for an interview with Dare. Hall's wife is sick: the doctor has instructed Hall to give her better food and medical attention. Hall, desperate, takes the opportunity of urging Dare to allow him to read his play. Spellbound, Dare listens to the most absurd line of talk he has ever heard, but is very much surprised by the magnificent acting of the author. Dare writes out a check for the play and while the hungry man looks on, calmly throws the manuscript on the fire. Dare says he will make him the greatest actor living. Hall is cast in the part of PhiIip Dawany. At first Hall is treated with distinct coldness by the audience, but at last cheer after cheer rolls out as the curtain falls. In this moment, his hour of triumph, a message reaches him from home.
