O. TITLE PRODUCER
Rescuing a beautiful maiden from a watery grave, he poses as a wealthy yatchsman and is thus entertained in the home of her millionaire father, where he keeps the other guests in a riot of merriment, until his rival, suspecting his identity, again puts the police on his trail. Thereupon a chase of Chaplin resumed in the environments of the wealthy home affords still other variations of clever and elusive tactics by the ingenious comedian.

DA-783 to 92 Trilby World
Featuring Clara Kimball Young, Wilton Lackaye and Cliester Barnett
When George Du Maurier first wrote "Trilby", it took the world by storm, becoming the "best seller" of the times.
The strange, weird experiences of "Trilby", the beautiful model of the Latin Quarter, when she came under the control of Svengali, the hypnotist, form the basis tor one of the most startlingly interesting dramas ever filmed.
Under the direction of Maurice Tourneur, with Clara Kimball Young and Wilton Lackaye, two of the screen's and stage's most popular dramatic stars, in the stellar roles, supported by Chester Barnett, Paul McAllister and an all-star cast, "Trilby" surpassed the expectations of all concerned.
Trilby, a model for an obscure sculptor, seeking adventure, meets Little Billee, the Laird, Svengali, Gecko, and others. Svengali experiments with Trilby and proves that he can hypnotize her. His mind conceives the idea of keeping her under mesmeric power and giving her, through his power, the^ voice of a nightingale.
Millie and Trilby fall in love with each other, and when Svengali finally influences Trilby away, and through his power makes of her a great Diva, Billee is nnconsolable.
Trilby mounts the ladder of fame and soon becomes a universal figure.
Millie and his friends happen into a theatre one night, where a fashionable audience has gathered to hear the famous "La Svengali," as Trilby has become known. Discovering Trilby, Billee attacks Svengali, who dies of heart failure, and Trilby, after months of torture, recovers her own personality and is about to become happy with Billee when the story ends.
This theatre is the big scene in "Trilby". In this scene Trilby is seen singing to a vast audience under the direction of Svengali, the weird master of hypnotism who has gotten her in his power. A forty-piece orchestra rendered the music for this scene and is shown in action. Hundreds of people appear in the audience. And this one scene is but one of many costly scenes made for this big picture.
All people who are interested and entertained by consistent, forceful, thrilling pictureplays will want to see this offering. "Trilby" is easily one of the greatest film plays ever made. It charms and entertains. It grips and enthralls. Being so utterly different from the ordinary, it startles and makes the spectators think.
The human touches inserted at just the right moments in this film, along with exquisitely lighted bits of artistry, are enough to carry the appreciative members of an audience into ecstasies.
