Synopsis: "A room is all Victorian sumptuous rugs and curtains at one end, completely bare at the other, with a divan upon which beautiful but immoral woman is lounging. In bursts her husband declaring he knows about her affair with young Douglas; she must choose one of them. In bursts Douglas and the husband produces poison: Let's play cards for her, old man. All written in the highest pitch of melodrama with everyone gasping or turning white. In the final line the director steps forward and shouts, Cut! It was all a scene from a movie." (Books & Boots)
