An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) The Devil's Claim, the 1920 Charles Swickard silent Hindu romantic love triangle author melodrama (a strange story of a Hindu novelist in Greenwich Village in New York City, who has love affairs and writes about them and then abandons the women; when he abandons a young Persian girl, she tries to kill him, and a social worker agrees to help the Persian girl win him back, which she does by seducing him and helping him write a series of stories, but she jilts him just before the end of the stories, and she sends the Persian girl back to him, and he realizes he really loves her) starring Sessue Hayakawa, Rhea Mitchell, Colleen Moore, William Buckley, and Sidney Payne. Note that Rhea Mitchell started in movies in 1909 at the age of 19, and she was a fairly big star through the mid 1910s. But as she got older, her parts started drying up, and she had fewer and fewer roles in the 1920s, and mostly uncredited roles in the 1930s. She managed an apartment building in Los Angeles, and she made her last movie appearance in 1952, and in 1957, at the age of 66, she was strangled by a "disgruntled houseboy"! Also note that Colleen Moore had been in movies for several years before this, but had not had a lot of success, and it would be several more years before she would start having leading roles. Here she played the young Persian girl who is betrayed by Hayakawa. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
