A-64 to A-67 Lorna Doone Biograph
Vola Smith, Jack Drumier, G. Raymond Nye, Edward Cecil
Interesting alike to those who have and those who have not read the novel, is this wonderful photoplay. Lorna, captured and adopted in infancy by an outlaw clan, grows up as the daughter of old Sir Ensor Doone. One day she finds a young man named John Ridd, hurt by a fall, and assists him to his home, although he is an enemy of the Doones. Carver Doone tries to force Lorna to marry him but she is rescued by John Ridd. The story is full of stirring personal encounters between John and Carver as well as pitched battles between the Doones and their enemies, but Carver's underhand methods are finally overcome and John and Lorna are happily married.
A-70 to A-73 The Ring and the Book Biograph
The tragic story of the sufferings endured by a young girl who has been married for her supposed wealth and who upon her husband's discovery that she is only an adopted daughter and penniless, inflicts abuses and insults upon her, and finally kills her. The fact that he is later brought to justice for his crime is some consolation to the sympathetic observer. Although morbid in theme the picture is well directed and the photography excellent. The story of Browning's poem of the same name is closely followed.
