Actors: Edith Roberts, Alfred Lunt, William B. Mack, Frank Evans
Synopsis: Respected stage star Alfred Lunt occasionally appeared in motion pictures; this curious and not terribly inspired mystery from Goldwyn was his inauspicious film debut. When Yvonne de Chausson (Edith Roberts) comes home from a trip to France, she is told that her grandfather, lumber magnate Andre Read More
Actors: Alfred Lunt, Mimi Palmeri, Charles A. Fang, Wallace Erskine, George MacQuarrie
Synopsis: This average South Seas romance -- based on a novel by Harold McGrath -- was the second film featuring stage star Alfred Lunt. Playing opposite him is fashion model Mimi Palmeri in her acting debut (and, possibly, swan song -- after this film, she was apparently never heard from again). Lunt plays Read More
Synopsis: This burlesque on old-fashioned melodramas starred 1910s screen lovers Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne (they were also real-life lovers who had just gotten married a year before making this film).

San San is in love with John Worden (Thomas Meighan), the secretary of the U.S. consulate Read More
Synopsis: The leading romantic team of the 1910s, on as well as off the screen, Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne experienced a major failure with this serial released in 18 chapters by Louis B. Mayer. The screenplay, by Fred de Gresac, was the already then hoary old story of a beautiful heiress who must Read More
Actors: Mabel Taliaferro, William Sherwood, Frank Bennett, Charles A. Fang, Albert Tavernier
Synopsis: Filmed on location at Saranac Lake and the St. Lawrence River in New York State, The Jury of Fate starred Mabel Taliaferro in the dual role of the Labordie twins, Jeanne (a girl) and Jacques (a boy). Jeanne grows up resigned to the fact that Jacques is her father's favorite child. Thus, when Read More
Synopsis: Foreign powers keep getting their hands on U.S. military secrets, so the head of the American diplomatic corps calls in his nephew Dick Stansbury (Francis X. Bushman) to help.
