The Man with Two Faces (1934)


After recovering from a nervous breakdown, Jessica Wells makes her return to the stage by appearing in The Dark Tower , which is produced by her lover, Ben Weston. The play, which also stars her brother, Damon Wells, is a big hit out of town and Ben is ready to open it in New York. He convinces Damon to continue on in his role and the whole family is ready to celebrate when Stanley Vance, Jessica's former husband who is presumed dead, arrives at the house. Jessica's breakdown occurred after Vance abandoned her. Vance had a hypnotic hold over her that only ended when she heard of his death. Now the family learns that he is not dead, but is ready to re-establish his hold on Jessica and her money. Jessica immediately falls under his spell again and acquiesces to all his demands. Vance is eager for the play to open, and when Damon points out that Jessica is too much of a zombie to act when she is around him, Vance asks for money to leave her alone. Later a man calling himself Jules Chautard visits Vance to request rights to the play. Scenting money, Vance is eager to meet Chautard in his hotel room. Chautard offers Vance a drink, which contains a narcotic, and when he passes out, Chautard stabs him. Chautard checks out of the hotel and travels quickly to Ben's office, where he reveals himself to be Damon. The police search the hotel room, finding nothing but some false hair in the Bible. The police question Damon and when one of them, Curtis, learns that he is an actor, he grows suspicious. When the play finally opens on Broadway, there are still no clues to the identity of the murderer. The case is about to be declared closed when Curtis visits Damon in his dressing room. He tells Damon that they learned that Vance murdered his first wife and also stole money from another woman. He then adds that he once saw Damon in a play, fifteen years ago, playing the Duc de Rastignac, the model for Chautard, and shows him the mustache they found in the hotel. After Damon admits he killed Vance, Curtis suggests that because Vance was a murderer and thief, Damon will get
a light sentence
