An Austrian officer sets out to seduce a neglected young wife. A frail waif, abused by her brutal boxer father in London's seedy Limehouse District, is befriended by a sensitive Chinese immigrant with tragic consequences. Griffith's handling of concurrent scenes at different locations is just horrendous, worse than the most hackneyed silent serial and the scene with Besserer and Graves at the graveyard is just weird and poorly staged (most unusual is the mix of Christian fundamentalism and spiritualism though apparently not that uncommon in the late 19th and very early 20th century).

Susie, a plain young country girl, secretly loves a neighbor boy, William. A poor Russian girl's beauty leads her unscrupulous uncle to bring her to the United States. Edward Wagenknecht tears into Josephine Crowell for overacting in THE FILMS OF D W GRIFFITH but I found her a believable if psychotic villainess, on the other hand Mama of the boys, Eugenie Besserer really chews the scenery on occasion and her slatternly husband (George Fawcett) is rather creepy but of course not as much as a the perv Crowell's married to (George Nichols) who lusts after underage Lil and earlier killed another young girl (witnessed by Gish's character as a child).
A religious woman seeks to save her people from destruction by seducing and murdering the enemy leader, but her plans get complicated once she falls for him. As described in a film magazine, Nellie Jarvis (Gish), daughter of a wandering couple, when very young witnesses the murder of a woman by a man and his wife. Two orphaned sisters are caught up in the turmoil of the French Revolution, encountering misery and love along the way. The development of the war in their lives plays through to Lincoln's assassination and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. There he is going to sell her into a marriage with a rich old man she has never met. The pastoral setting is lovely though, too bad it wasn't used for a genuine romance instead of this absurd little melodrama.Keep track of everything you watch; tell your friends.
