The White Flower, the 1923 Julia Crawford Ivers silent Hawaii tropical island romantic love triangle melodrama (a wild story of a girl whose mother is Hawaiian and her father is American, and a sorceress tells her that the man who presents her with a white flower will be her true love, and when an American gives her a white gardenia, she wants him badly, but he is engaged, and she gets a curse put on his fiancee, but when she falls very ill and he stays by her side, the Hawaiian girl has the curse removed, and is about to jump into a volcano, but the American rescues her, having been released from his betrothal by his fiancee!) starring Betty Compson, Edmund Lowe, Edward Martindel, Arline Pretty, and Silvia Ashton. Note that this movie was directed by Julia Crawford Ivers, who was a writer of dozens of movies between 1915 and 1923. In the middle 1910s, she was able to direct three movies (one of the first women to do so), and she did not direct again until she made this movie in 1923, but sadly, it was her last. It is interesting to note that the cinematographer on this movie was her own son, James Van Trees, who would go on to become a top cinematographer in Hollywood from the 1920s through the 1960s. It is one of the only cases where a mother and son had two such major behind the scenes roles in a movie! After this movie, Julia Crawford Ivers only wrote a couple more movies before passing away in 1930 at the age of 62. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.
