A tight, attractive photoplay edition (touts front jacket panel, "Illustrated with scenes from the Photoplay Produced by Inspiration Pictures, Inc. Charles H. Duell, Jr. President") featuring scenes from the 1924 Henry King silent film version starring the Gish sisters, Ronald Coleman and William Powell -- and fetching jacket front panel art a provocative portrait of Lillian Gish.
