I really enjoyed this film. The Gish girls are absolutely adorable, and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat all the way to the end. It's rare that a movie does that for me! To put a cherry on top, Joseph Schildkraut is absolutely dashing as the Chevalier de Vaudrey. *swoon*

A perfect combination of a melodramatic story and an historical event. Well-acted by Gish, Schildkraut and La Verne.

Apparently not even in silent films Murikans wanted to miss the slightest opportunity to throw a bit of propaganda here and there. Tacky.

I had weird dream last night.

A sequel to this film was premiered live on television, starring the young Lillian Gish (1920's) and the old Lillian Gish (1980's). It was a miracle! I believe it was titled "The Two Orphans" like the Theda Bara film.
However, at the very same time of the live broadcast, another much anticipated silent film was premiering at a theater. I attended the theater and ended up watching both films at the same time by taking a portable television with me. After a couple of minutes I figured the Gish film was more interesting and I ignored the theater film.
