Curiosidades
Following the successful mid-1948 telecasts of Othello (1922) and O Águia (1925), New York City's WJZ (Channel 7), began a series of silent film feature presentations, shown more or less in their entirety, which aired intermittently for the next twelve months. This feature was initially broadcast Wednesday 10 August 1949 in both New York City on WJZ (Channel 7), in Washington DC on WMAL (Channel 7) and in Baltimore on WAAM (Channel 13).

Contrived and melodramatic - Frederick shines

Melodramatic and contrived in the extreme - even for 1926 - this is one of 10 surviving silents (out of 58) of Pauline Frederick and one of only two that are available on DVD. This great tragedienne is almost forgotten now, as so much of her work is lost.

Marian Nixon, a young dramatic actress, whose face reminds one of Myrna Loy, tries valiantly, but like everyone else in the cast, with the exception of Ms. Frederick, manages to overact under inept direction. George Lewis as the son is handsome and effective as a young leading man. The only acting honors go though to Frederick, who must be noble throughout and age from a young woman to a suffering mother.

The first part of the story takes up 25 minutes, the latter part with the son and mother the remaining 50 minutes. The print I saw on DVD is 75 minutes long, not the 70 listed on the IMDb site.

Worth seeing only for Frederick.
