SYNOPSIS (Continued) Urged on by Madame Jealousy, Charm tells her mother and father. Commerce and Pride, and the boy's father and mother hear about it also. They decide it must be the girl's fault while Commerce and Pride are equally certain it is the fault of Valor. Jealousy sends Mischief to Valor to whisper evil tidings of his wife, and so it is that when Jealousy herself comes to the husband, he falls a willing victim to her charms and keeps her ever with him. Madame Jealousy next suggests to each of the parents that perhaps the others think them not their social equals, and later calls in her faithful servant. Treachery. Between Mischief and Treachery, the parents and the two young people are goaded into bitter hatred of each other. Madame Jealousy next persuades Charm to accept her handmaiden. Sorrow, for her personal attendant, but Charm grows daily paler and lonely through this companionship. Through Jealousy, also. Valor goes the downward path until he is seen in a roadhouse accompanied by Madame Jealousy and one of her girl friends. Reckless. They are having a wild orgy, and when Finance, the father of Valor arrives and attempts to get the boy away from the wild companions, there is a scene of violence, during which Valor strikes his father down with a wine bottle. Thereafter Valor is ever followed by Remorse. Treachery next causes wild rumors of financial failure to Commerce and Finance, and terrible riots ensue. Into the midst of this tumult, caused by Madame Jealousy and her servants, a baby boy comes to Charm, whose parents, when the news reaches them, come to see the child as do the parents of Valor, and later Valor himself. So we find them all reunited and when Madame Jealousy creeps in at the door, she finds no room for herself, and turning away, sinks into the quicksands of life, calling on her servants. As she sinks deeper and deeper, she calls out: "I go out of their lives, but others shall call me back," and disappears. “MADAME JEALOUSY” IS MORE THAN AN AMUSING PHOTOPLAY WITH AN INTERESTING STORY AND BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY IT GIVES EVERYONE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
