In despair over her marriage, he gambles wildly, uses Government funds entrusted to his care, and loses all. He then endeavors to recoup the loss by betting on the Baron's horse, but loses there also. The Baronne learns of his distress and suggests the money lender, Bragelin. Chaceroy is unable to raise the funds by any means and sees but one honorable way out of his predicament, that of suicide. The Baronne tries to pawn her jewels, but cannot do so without her husband's consent. She tries to get money from the Baron, but on account of the huge sum involved, he becomes suspicious and in an intense scene, learns of her affair with Chaceroy. In despair she goes to Jean Dupree, a writer of sensational literature, who is infatuated with her. He offers to loan the money on one condition. The Baronne refuses the dishonorable conditions, but finally yields through her love of Chaceroy. She hastens to Chaceroy with the money, but is too late. It was necessary to have the money by six o'clock that evening. Failing, he had committed suicide. Written by Moving Picture World, December 4, 1920 See less
