An obscure tale fragment describes an old fisherman finding a mermaid in a net near Salem Molden. A detective pursues the escaping figure along a pier while a heist and deception unfold.
A disparate batch of silent film plot blurbs unfolds. Lubin's The Apache Kind follows bandit Joe and sweetheart Loretta with a sheriff pursuit and a wagon train siege. The Mermaid tale shows a fisherman’s nets, clever thieves, and the young couple’s escape amid seaside mischief. An assortment of comedies and dramas cap the page, detailing thefts, disguises, and romantic entanglements on rural and coastal screens.
An elderly man hosts a dinner to memories of former loves, each place setting a bouquet and a memory from Betty, a society bride, a white society lass, a Washington attaché, and Carmencita. As he toasts the lilies, a candle ignites draperies and a fatal end follows. A boy’s crash and a rural love rival subplot unfold around the drama. The piece previews The Wager and notes star Lovie Vale.
A vintage Universal photoplay program features Tie Hallroom Girls with Pearl and Charlotte plotting romance and mischief at a ballroom, aided by Chester Joe and Suzie. A second tale follows a man’s fear of snakes, a village love test, and a moral about superstition, sincerity, and family virtue.
A convoluted plot centers on a thief exposed by his own actions as James Lyndenerson, a jeweler, files an insurance claim. The tale features a detective, a ranch feud over chickens, and Dorothy Whirlly and Phillis Gordon in a tale of love, pursuit, and downfall with a climactic sheriff’s involvement. The story also notes the director McRat and a dramatic performance by Miss Gordon in a Shubert-era production.
