The Finish (1917)

It might have fared bad for Rene Jarret had it not been for the finish. Her husband, Norman employed detectives to track her. They reported she was entirely too intimate with Robert Travis, a wealthy young clubman. Norman pretends he has suddenly been called out of town, departs, then returns home about midnight. He surprises Rene and Travis embracing in his library. Covering the pair with his revolver, Jarret summons a reporter and gives him a front-page story of his wife's perfidy. Travis, released, goes home and ends his life. Rene is just reaching for a revolver to end hers, when two property men, getting into a fight over a crap game, knock down the scene. Sure, it is just a moving picture being filmed.
