The Great Smash

John D. Rock, Jr., was having a very easy time of it. He led a worthless life, but father got wise to some of his pranks and decided that he would have to take matters in his own hands for the sake of the family. He sends young Johnnie out on the road to work in the section gang. Father was wise enough to select John Blake as a disciplinarian for his unruly son. It was a sad day for Johnnie when he landed in the railroad camp, for he immediately began to trespass. There lived in the camp one little Nell, the pride of the camp, and the sweetheart of John Blake, the terrible foreman. Johnnie began to make advances to little Nell, who to all appearances, reciprocated his regard. Right there John Blake stepped in and after a few harsh remarks and a little rough treatment he thought the matter was settled, but Johnnie was one of the kind who believe in perseverance, and he kept right on, regardless of the threats of John Blake. This was not only bad for himself, but for little Nell as well. John Blake, in his desperation, after being turned down cold, decided to murder the little girl. With the aid of his assistants he kidnapped her after dark and tied her to the railroad track and got into an engine determined to end it all. The millionaire's son was apprised of the fact and secured a racing car. There followed a race between the engine and the racer to see which would reach her first. Blake had to cross a drawbridge, which was the vantage point, and Johnnie got there first. When Blake arrived the bridge was up, but Blake did not heed it in his mad dash and up and over he went, and down to his destruction.

Two Weeks Notice

1 hr 41 mins
Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development project near her childhood Coney Island home where her parents still live. Although Lucy is able to effect the type of change she wanted from this position, she finds she cannot deal with George's expectations of her, namely being his primary confidante and advisor at all hours of the day and night, mostly about issues she considers frivolous. As such, she gives him two weeks notice, although she promises to help George find her replacement. As Lucy begins to review resumes, George himself unilaterally decides to hire June Carver, a fellow Harvardite, but who seems to have her sights set on George as both a boss and personal partner. As June begins to replace Lucy in seemingly all aspects of George's life, Lucy begins to realize that she herself has fallen for George. However, Lucy's feelings for George and her attempts to re-ingratiate herself into George's life are placed into jeopardy when she learns of a Wade Corporation decision against her basic sensibilities.
