Heffron & John Ince silent romantic love triangle jungle adventure ("In seven parts"; "From the novel by Herman Whitaker"; a very complicated story about the son of a rich Maine woman who goes to Mexico after his mother invests in a rubber plantation there, and he discovers they treat the native Mexicans like slaves, and he works hard to reform the area, and has several romantic adventures as well; parts of the film were filmed in Guatemala, which substituted for Mexico) starring Tyrone Power Sr., Lamar Johnstone, Helen Bateman (billed as "Mrs. Tyrone Power"), Lucille King, and Mabel Wiles. Note that there is little information about this movie we could find other than the stars and the plot summary. The only poster we have ever auctioned for it says "in seven parts", but we think this just refers to it being seven reels long, which was a real selling point back in the 1910s, because so many movies were only one and two reel. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1917 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare.
