Avenging Conscience: or 'Thou Shalt Not k*ll', The (1914)

[bunniefuu]

AN INDULGENT GUARDIAN

All the Uncle's time and money

devoted to his beloved nephew

INTO MANHOOD

Working with one idea centered

on a great career

The Nephew - Henry Walthall

...tomorrow to the garden party.

I am looking forward to a golden afternoon.

You poor, old, busy man.

I will save you time by calling for you.

She whom you have chosen to name Annabel.

THREATENED HOPES

For the first time in his life

the young man's thoughts

are swerving

from the path marked out for him.

The Sweetheart - Blanche Sweet

THE TELL-TALE HEART

RUE! Nervous very, very dreadfully nervous

"It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden lived,

whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden

she lived with no other thought

Than to love,

and be loved by me."

"You shall not go out!

You have work here to do!"

"And all my days are trances

And all my nightly dreams

Are where thy dark eye glances

And where thy footstep gleams."

"Look! I have sacrificed

everything for you

and you owe me in return

a few years of gratitude"

"You are after my boy like

a common woman"

AT THE PARTY

A GENTLEMAN WHOM

WHE SHALL MEET AGAIN

The Stranger - Ralph Lewis

ON ACCOUNF OF THE UNCLE

THEY AGREE TO PART FOREVER

THE CONTRAST

Where lovers go two by two and

the gorecer's boy courts the maid

"Thou wast that all to me, love,

For whic my soul did pine,

A green isle in the sea, love,

A fountain and a shrine."

"If I don't catch that grocer

boy in this rig, good night!"

AMIDST MUSIC AND DANCING,

WHICH HOLD NO CHARMS FOR THEM

THEIR LAST GOOD-BYE

WITH HEART EMBITTERED, THE OLD MAN

SEES YOUTH THE MASTER OF HAPPINESS

THE DESPAIR OF YOUTH

ROBBED OF ITS LOVE

HIS PRAYER TO GOD

TO GUDE HIM RIGHT

AN IMPRESSION THAT

PLAYS ITS PART LATTER

The Italian - George Seigmann

THE LAST ACHING LOOK

"But our love it was stronger by

far than the love

Of those who were older than we,

Of many far wiser than we."

THE BIRTH OF THE

EVIL THOUGHT

Nature one long system of m*rder

the spider, the fly and the ants

"For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee,

And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabell Lee."

REALIZATION THAT HIS UNCLE, ON WHOM HE IS

DEPENDENT, STANDS BETWEEN HIM AND HAPPINESS

THE PLAN OF A

FEVERED BRAIN

If you come this afternoon my home over the hill,

I will pay you the money

I have owed you so long. Jameson.

PRETENDED WONDER AT

HIS UNCLE'S DESTINATION

HE WATCHES, HOPEFUL OF THE

UNCLE'S RETURN UNPERCEIVED

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY

"Let me have money

and I will go away"

BUYING THE ITALIAN'S SILENCE

He promises to pay him well when

he comes into his inheritance

CONCEALING THE BODY IN THE WALL

OF THE OLD FIREPLACE

EACH BRIKC SO CUNNUNGLY REPLACED

THAT NO HUMAN EYE CAN DETECT THE FRAUD

ARTFUL INQUIRY AMONG

THE VILLAGERS

THE UNCLE'S FRIEND SUSPICIOUS

"He has not been seen since we saw

him go over the brow of the hill"

PAYING THE ITALIAN

After young man's unblemished reputation

has established him without no question

in the possession of his inheritance.

THE ONE DISCORDANT NOTE

The Uncle's doubting friend

introduces the stranger

"You have a quaint old place here

and the roses I am a great admirer of roses"

"What a peculiarly shaped fireplace"

CONGRATULATIONS

ON HIS INHERITANCE

She whom he has called Annabel

visits him with her companion

SHE FEARS SOMETHING MORE THAN MERE

MENTAL DERANGEMENT

HOPING SLEEP MAY

CURE THE TIRED BRAIN

TO A SANITARIUM

Hoping for relief from the hallucinations

of his nervous break down

THE RETURN

SEEMINGLY CURED

PREMONITION

Suspicious that the stranger is a

detective he hires

the Italian to watch on guard

night and day

ELOBORATE PRECUATIONS

The barricaded house

"This leads to an underground passage

which gives me means of escape"

"This whistle is the

signal of danger"

SHE IS CONVINCED THAT HIS HALLUCINATIONS

ARE NOT THOSE OF GUILT

THE AVENGING CONSCIENCE

BITTER REMORSE

"I saw all things in the heaven and in the earth,

I saw many things in hell."

Thou Shall Not k*ll

PURSUING FATE

Thingking to force a confession,

the detective places his men in waiting

"I have an hour that I can spend with you if you

don't mind answering a few questions."

"It has been lately reported that a scream was

heard here the night your Uncle disappeared."

THE ITALIAN ON GUARD

LIKE THE BEATING OF

THE DEAD MAN'S HEART

CONSCIENCE OVERBURDENS

THE TELLTALE HEART

"Thet are neither man nor woman; They are neither

brute nor human; They are ghouls!"

THE ITALIAN

FEARS TO GO FURTHER

ANNABEL INFORMED

She learns of the confession

and of the desperate stand

at bay in the valley

"Oh, such a dream!"

HER MIND CLEARED

OF RESENTMENT

She cannot wait until morning

to tell him that,

Uncle or no Uncle,

she cannot live without him.

A MORE WELCOME VISITOR

THE AFTERMATH

He quotes from his successfull book

"In your voice I hear Pan playing in the woods

and all the world gives heed."

"And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee."
