Thellys ...See moreThe scenes of this beautifully mounted and artistically colored picture are laid in ancient Rome, where we see the young hero Ithis present himself before the father of pretty Thellys and ask for the latter's hand in marriage. Thellys enters the place upon the arm of her lover Cyclon, but as her father has given her to Ithis, she is torn from the side of Cyclon, and he is ejected from the place. When Thellys is presented to Ithis she will have none of him, but upon being threatened by her father, she reluctantly consents to go away with her new lover. Arriving at the latter's castle he tries in every manner to make love to Thellys, but she will not allow him to come near her. Finally Ithis gives up in despair and seeks diversion in gambling and carousing. His former sweetheart Fahtima tries to win back his affections, but he is so desperately in love with Thellys that he will not notice Fahtima. Finally the latter disguising herself as a man comes into the gambling den and throws dice with Ithis, who is unlucky at every turn and loses everything. Fahtima, desirous of having Thellys out of the way, proposes to Ithis that he stake Thellys' love in the game of chance. Ithis accepts the proposition, and although he plays a careful game, luck seems against him, and he loses. Disheartened, Ithis rushes out of the place leaving Thellys in the power of Fahtima, who immediately directs one of her servants to put an end to the poor girl. She is given over to a gruff fellow who leads her out of the palace, to a lonely spot in the woods where, not having the courage to kill her, he ties her to a tree and leaves her to her fate. Her old lover Cyclon, who has become a wanderer since the loss of his sweetheart, happens to pass by and to his great astonishment discovers his lady love. He rescues her and the happy couple are once more united by the power of love. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
