All rights reserved Upon the untimely death of Charles Hite in 1914, Edwin Thanhouser was re-hired to manage the Thanhouser Studios. The three films included in this volume of the series represent the films produced during this time period. This is a mystery-suspense two reeler about an older woman who is murdered just after writing her will. Once she realizes she has been poisoned, she tries to telephone for help. Due to the error, all the police had to go on was Will drake, whom they assumed was the guilty party.
Drake is arrested for murder and convicted.
Watch to find out if justice is served, or if justice is miscarried. This is a good mystery film with a smooth narrative, and very polished compared to most of the other films from the time period. It is a delightful comedy about a laundress and an actor who make it big on the vaudeville comedy circuit, but who are relegated back to the laundromat when their attempt at Shakespeare fails. This film gives an interesting historical look into what vaudeville of the 1910's was like. It stars Carey Hastings as Sophie, and Reginald Perry as the husband.
