The Portrait of Lady Anne |
(One reel of
approximately 1,000 feet, July 23, 1912)
Print source: Library of Congress, 14 minutes 53 seconds.
Cast: Florence LaBadie (Lady Anne), Justice Barnes (Lady Anne’s father in
1770), William Russell (rejected 1770 suitor), Carl LeViness (accepted
suitor in 1770), Harry Benham (her suitor in 1912).
A fantasy of romance and jealousy across 200 years. Sets are, in 1912, becoming more realistic, sometimes even layered (with glimpses into other rooms in the background). Though still not willing to identify (much less promote) their popular players, the theater-savvy Thanhousers were willing to hire the most elaborate and picturesque costumes in New York City.
