The Love Auction

Summary Lea Montrose (Virginia Pearson) marries Dorian Vandeveer (Hugh Thompson), but soon finds that he is a drunk. Dorian tries without success to reform and Lea abandons any hopes for her marriage. Instead she joins a cult headed by Dr. Studholm Charters (Thurlow Bergen). One of Lea's former boyfriends, Jack Harley (Edwin Stanley), returns to town, having become wealthy, and he and Lea rekindle their relationship. Lea has a baby, which inspires Dorian to once again attempt to give up drinking. Dr. Charters, however, suspects that Jack, rather than Dorian, is the child's father, and demands that Lea submit to him in return for his silence. Dorian learns of Charters' demand, gets drunk and kills him, then commits suicide. See "The Fox Plan of Photoplay Writing" by Vera Casparay, ghostwriting for Charles Donald Fox. View more details
