The Blind Boy

Edwin J. Collins

G.H. Chirgwin, Ivy Martinek

A violinist adopts a blind boy busker and dreams a cousin tries to kill him for his inheritance.

The Scapegrace

Edwin J. Collins

In the Yukon, a coward chases a girl and falls from a bridge.

The Taming of the Shrew

Edwin J. Collins

Dacia Deane, Lauderdale Maitland

This version concentrates on the contest between Petruchio and Katerina, as it should. The Biance subplot is used only to set up the Shrew story. When the subplot is resolved, its intrusion comes almost as a surprise, but I suppose the director felt he had to tie up lose ends.

Esmeralda

Edwin J. Collins

Sybil Thorndike, Booth Conway

Samson and Delilah

Edwin J. Collins

Valia, M.D. Waxman

Early British version of the tale of Samson. Fifth release in the 'Tense Moments from Opera' series.
