John Henry's obituary appeared in the newspaper on this day.
Also in the newspaper was the bill of fare for Proctors' that evening:
They always have quite a few attractions to fill up the evening. The movie, "The Amazing Lovers," was a rather complex silent film about espionage and thievery. Here is the synopsis, according to the American Film Institute:
**********
John Henry's obituary appeared in the newspaper on this day.
| A band of New York counterfeiters, led by Professor John Breede and backed by banker Martin Cardine, has agreed to print a number of fake French notes for an overseas gang. Yvonne La Rue, an emissary sent by the French gang to pick up the notes, meets Captain Marlowe, an ex-soldier who returned from France to find that Cardine had ruined his father and married his sweetheart Vera. One of the New York gang, in love with Yvonne, kills Cardine and makes Marlowe believe that he himself committed the murder while drunk. Marlowe is then blackmailed into an in-name-only marriage with Yvonne to prevent her from being deported as an undesirable alien. Yvonne turns out to be a Secret Service agent who unmasks the counterfeit ring, and she and Marlowe fall in love. |
