When a Woman Loves

Ruth, a waitress in a cheap restaurant, contributes what she can to the support of her family at home, until the mother's ill health brings the domestic situation to a crisis. Having insufficient money for their needs. Ruth is tempted to "play the horses," at which after losing, she dons male attire and entering the pool room is arrested in a raid. After a night in the station house her identity is disclosed, as also her inability to pay the fine. Arthur Lowe, a wealthy young attorney on the scene at the time, straightens out matters, but Ruth has lost her position, and in seeking another at a beautiful summer hotel, she runs into her older sister, who had left home some time before for the gayer life of the city, in company with two pseudo-gentlemen, card sharps. She lives with one; the other, Powers, quickly realizes that Ruth's prettiness will prove a wonderful decoy for their victims. One day, while canoeing with Powers, Ruth is upset and saved from a watery grave by Lowe, who was leaving his launch for the shore. Their friendship increases after that, which Powers' hatred of Lowe grows rabid. Ruth catches Powers cheating at a card game with Lowe; she exposes him, and the two men start fighting. Powers is about to strike Lowe over the head with a decanter when Ruth shoots him through the shoulder. The story ends happily with Ruth, her mother, and Lowe leaving for a long cruise on Lowe's yacht, and as the stern of the yacht disappears in the distance, Dan Cupid, minus one arrow, stands on the shore smiling contentedly.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
