Searle Dawley silent romantic mistaken identity melodrama (about a rich man's son who accidentally shoots a mountain girl while on a hunting trip, and he falls in love with her, and marries her, intending to "civilize" her; but she is a major embarrassment to her husband's family, and she goes back home to her father; she enters a finishing school, and has a complete makeover, and becomes best friends with her estranged husband's sister, who invites her for a visit to her home, and her husband doesn't recognize her, and falls in love with her new sophisticated self, and at the end, he realizes she is his true love!) starring Mary Pickford, Owen Moore, Ernest Truex, Ogden Crane, and James Gordon. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. A reviewer at the time wrote: "Miss Pickford, like all other really fine artistes, is quite inimitable, there is no one who can even approach her, she stands alone ". Note that this was Mary Pickford's second feature with Famous Players, after she signed to work for them at $500 a week. After the great success of this movie, and her fine performance, they realized that they had gotten a bargain! Finally, note that Pickford and Owen were married in real life after the filming of this movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is no guarantee that this lobby card is from 1913, but it DOES have the Famous Players logo in the top left corner, but it still could be an early re-release (it may be one of the only things that survived from this film, and even the movie itself is "lost"). Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 7" x 9" [18 x 23 cm]. Also note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: good. The card was trimmed to 7" x 9". There are two pieces of tape on the front of the bottom right corner. The card was mounted to something, and there is paper residue on all of the back (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
