Lasky"; "From the novel by Coningsby Dawson"; a wild story of a woman who leaves her rich husband and daughter and disappears to Europe; when the husband dies 20 years later, he leaves his fortune to his now grown up daughter, but only if she stays out of a scandal like her mother, and then the daughter becomes involved in a scandal, but who should rescue her, but her long lost mother, who has become a Countess in the 20 years she was gone!) starring Gloria Swanson (in a dual role as mother and daughter), Anthony Jowitt, Alec B. Francis, Dorothy Cumming, and Jed Prouty. Note that reading the above plot summary, you think that nothing could make this movie even more preposterous than it is, but the producers managed to do that by casting Gloria Swanson as BOTH the mother AND the daughter! Sadly, 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 the Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition of this novel in its original dust jacket. This book has the original dust jacket. Here are more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would republish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would usually include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and they are quite collectible, especially if they still have the original dust jacket! Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: good to very good. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve.
