This picture, the biggest in the history of Vitagraph, is a magnificent and thrilling story of Jove and adventure, fashioned into form for the screen from one of those delightful and inimitable stories of Gouve/rneur Morris. The picturization was made by Lillian and George Randolph Chester and the master hand of Tom Terriss directed its making on a stage that had as its boundaries the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts.
Coupled with this effort to give it the very last touch" of realism is an all-star'cast, months spent in the making of it and an expenditure of more than a quarter of a million dollars. It is probably richer in spectacular value than any story ever transferred to the moving film. "Trumpet Island" tells the story of Richard Bedell, Eve le Merincourt and Valinsky, the human derelict. Bedell goes through a period of hardship and deprivation in which he can find neither work nor the hand of good fellowship. He becomes bitter and discouraged. Eve is taken from the quiet seclusion of a finishing school to wed a man she loathes. Valinsky, with a perfected invention for airplanes and starvation staring him in the face, cannot find anyone who will consider him seriously.
Thus these three travel the roads that Destiny has put them on — Bedell, the Stony Path seeking Success and Fame; Eve, the Road of Roses with its thorns and Valinsky, the Road of Mud and Muck. After many windings and twistings these three roads converge,
bringing happiness and content
to Eve and Bedell, while Death
looms for Valinsky at the end of
his journey.
Bedell's metropolitan orgies —
his dissipations resulting from a
too-bountiful Luck and a hopeless Love — his trip to Trumpet
Island to become a man once
more — Eve's fateful marriage —
the airplane honeymoon — the
storm — the wreck — the meeting
which results in the strangest,
the most alluring love story ever
told — from this point on, sensational levels are touched in the
unfolding of the story of
Trumpet Island.
