Adapted from the stage success of William Hurlburt. Directed by John Francis Dillion."; "From the play by William Hurlburt"; about a husband who catches his wife cheating on him, and he gets a divorce and gets custody of their baby, and then she becomes a model and has an affair, but eventually, she gets her baby back and a new husband) starring Corinne Griffith, Conway Tearle, Alma Bennett, Sylvia Breamer, Anna May Wong (in one of her early uncredited roles as a serving girl), and Mammy Peters. Note that "Mammy" Peters was a black African-American woman who played a maid in this movie, and apparently was never in another movie. We could find no further information about her. If anyone knows more about her, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this movie was re-made as a sound picture in 1930, but it bears no relationship to the famous 1963 Sidney Poitier movie of the same name! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist (though a trailer does survive). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a hand-colored lobby card. In the days of silent movies prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have stills printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the lobby cards one at a time (labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match, and since it is water color paint, it sometimes "runs", because simple contact with water will remove the paint. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good. There are pinholes in the corners, with tiny paper loss in the bottom right corner. There are smudges around the edges, including in the top right inset area, where they affected the hand coloring (see our image). Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
