Carpenter, Ernest Joy, Edythe Chapman, and Raymond Hatton. Note that Wallace Reid would become Paramount's top star a couple of years after this movie was made, but at this time, he was second billed to Cleo Ridgely. He appeared with her in seven movies, in 1915 and 1916, but then she got married to director James Horne, and had some children and mostly retired, and of course, Wallace Reid quickly become a top star, but then died in 1923 after becoming addicted to drugs prescribed after an accident on the set of one of his movies. Also note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 16 groups of incredibly rare stills from Cecil B. DeMille movies from between 1915 and 1923. On several of these titles, virtually no movie paper at all exists! These are all of the groups of early Cecil B. DeMille stills we were consigned, so unless you purchase from this set of auctions, you may not have a chance at groups of stills like these for many years! Condition: very good. Each has glue staining on back (they were likely in a portfolio of some sort at one time) but it has little or no effect on the front. The very rare stills are otherwise in pretty nice condition!
