The film tells the story of a woman who becomes tired of her plain dresses and secretly uses her husband’s money to buy silks. When her husband’s embezzlement is discovered, he is taken to jail, and the wife pleads for his release. The film is notable because it conveys the entire story without intertitles (sub-titles), relying solely on visual storytelling 2. Marion Leonard (June 9, 1881 – January 9, 1956) was an American stage actress who became one of the first motion picture celebrities in the early years of the silent film era. While working for Biograph, Leonard met screenwriter/director Stanner E.V. Taylor and a personal relationship developed that led to marriage. They created their own studio, the Gem Motion Picture Company, in 1911 to benefit from Leonard's increasing popularity. In 1915, after appearing in more than 150 motion pictures, Leonard retired from film acting. She returned, however, 11 years later at age 45 for one final screen appearance in a 1926 Mack Sennett comedy.3. Stanner E.V. Taylor (September 28, 1877 – November 23, 1948) was an American screenwriter and film director of the silent era. He wrote for more than 100 films between 1908 and 1929.4. Rex Motion Picture Company was an early film production company in the United States. After Edwin S. Porter's short-lived Defender Film Company failed, The Rex Motion Picture Company was established by Edwin S. Porter, Joseph Engel, and William Swanson. Rex, based at 573–579 11th Avenue, New York City. produced dozens of films from 1910 into 1917. It adopted a crown emblem.Lois Weber established herself in the film industry at Rex.Rex acquired Gem Motion Picture Company film properties and released them in 1912 under its own banner and later Universal's. Rex was one of the studios that combined to form Universal Pictures under Carl Laemmle's leadership.5. "Eyes That See Not" Poverty fought its barren battle there in the homes of the mill-workers. So the leader of the mill-workers decided to go to their tyrant god and petition him to grant his slaves at least as much consideration as the machines in his mill. On the roof-garden of the palatial home he found the mill-owner's wife. Her little daughter was with her, and he thought of his own little child lying on a sick-bed. In maniac rage he advanced upon the woman to touch her silk and tell her it was to be the crape of his suffering child, and she, fearing the light in his eyes and the strength in his arms, hurled him away and he went toppling over the roof into the depths below. By a miracle he lived, and by a miracle the conscience-stricken woman felt constrained to visit him. As she entered the squalor of his home, she saw a cot and a dying child upon it. She went back to her home, took her child into her arms, and realized that love alone was wealth. And the yellow thing that before she had called gold she gave as food for the hungry. 6. Florence Lois Weber (June 13, 1879 – November 13, 1939) was an American silent film director, screenwriter, producer and actress. She is identified in some historical references as among "the most important and prolific film directors in the era of silent films". Film historian Anthony Slide has also asserted, "Along with D. W. Griffith, Weber was the American cinema's first genuine auteur, a filmmaker involved in all aspects of production and one who utilized the motion picture to put across her own ideas and philosophies". Weber produced a body of work which has been compared to Griffith's in both quantity and quality and brought to the screen her concerns for humanity and social justice in an estimated 200 to 400 films, of which as few as twenty have been preserved. She has been credited by IMDb with directing 135 films, writing 114, and acting in 100. Weber was "one of the first directors to come to the attention of the censors in Hollywood's early years".Weber has been credited with pioneering the use of the split screen technique to show simultaneous action in her 1913 film Suspense. In collaboration with her first husband, Phillips Smalley, in 1913 Weber was "one of the first directors to experiment with sound", making the first sound films in the United States. She was also the first American woman to direct a full-length feature film when she and Smalley directed The Merchant of Venice in 1914, and in 1917 the first American woman director to own her own film studio.During the war years, Weber "achieved tremendous success by combining a canny commercial sense with a rare vision of cinema as a moral tool". At her zenith, "few men, before or since, have retained such absolute control over the films they have directed—and certainly no women directors have achieved the all-embracing, powerful status once held by Lois Weber". By 1920, Weber was considered the "premier woman director of the screen and author and producer of the biggest money making features in the history of the film business".Among Weber's notable films are: the controversial Hypocrites, which featured the first non-pornography full-frontal female nude scene, in 1915; the 1916 film Where Are My Children?, which discussed abortion and birth control and was added to the National Film Registry in 1993; her adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan of the Apes novel for the very first Tarzan of the Apes film, in 1918; The Blot (1921) is also generally considered one of her finest works.Weber is credited with discovering, mentoring, or making stars of several women actors, including Mary MacLaren, Mildred Harris, Claire Windsor, Esther Ralston, Billie Dove, Ella Hall, Cleo Ridgely, and Anita Stewart, and with discovering and inspiring screenwriter Frances Marion. 7. Wendell Phillips Smalley (August 7, 1865 – May 2, 1939) was an American silent film director and actor. Smalley began his career in vaudeville and acted in more than 200 films between 1910 and his death in 1939. He began directing in 1911 and made more than 300 films by 1921.Smalley was married to actress, writer, director, and producer Lois Weber from April 29, 1904, to 1922. They met in 1904 when Weber was acting in a theater where Smalley was stage manager. In 1908 Smalley and Weber began working for the U.S. division of Gaumont Film Company, where Smalley was an actor, and later a director. He is sometimes listed as a co-director with Lois Weber, and the extent of his contribution to her work is unresolved.After their divorce in 1922, he married Phyllis Lorraine Ephlin, and they remained together until his death.8. The Champion Film Company was an independent production company founded in 1909 by Mark M. Dintenfass. The studio was one of the film companies that merged to form Universal Pictures.Champion was the first film production company to establish itself in the area around Fort Lee, New Jersey, when the town was the home of America's first motion picture industry It built its studio in the vicinity of Fort Lee, at the town line with Englewood Cliffs in Coytesville, then a relatively remote area, to make them look as little like a studio as possible. The building was demolished on 2013. Dintenfass tried avoid the investigators of Thomas Alva Edison, always looking for the "pirates" who escaped the rigid conditions posed by the Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC), the monopoly of the sector that it imposed, between the other, to use only the technical material (film cameras, film, etc.) that was to be provided exclusively by the trust. To circumvent the MPPC, the independents - including Dintenfass - distributed their films through the Motion Picture Distributing and Sales Company of Carl Laemmle.On April 30, 1912, Laemmle brought together Pat Powers of Powers Motion Picture Company, Mark Dintenfass of Champion Film Company, William Swanson of Rex Motion Picture Company, David Horsley of Nestor Film Company, and Charles Baumann and Adam Kessel of the New York Motion Picture Company, to merge their companies with Independent Moving Pictures and create Universal Film Manufacturing Company, with Laemmle assuming the role of president. Dintenfass later founded the Vim Comedy Company (1915).In its four years of activity, Champion produced more than two hundred films. It specialized initially in westerns and historical reconstructions of military episodes of the American Civil War and American Revolution. Later, he produced numerous drama films, documentaries and some movies related to famous people, such as the aviators Blanche Scott and Robert G. Fowler. Among those who appeared in Champion films were John G. Adolfi, Irving Cummings, Jeanie Macpherson.9. Ireland and Isreal 1912: Abie Wedertzky arrives in America and is an object of ridicule by the hangers-on around the Battery New York. He is surrounded by a gang of toughs, who treat him roughly until Pat Riley, a champion pugilist, comes to his aid. Pat gives Abie his card and invites him to his home. Abie joins a gymnasium and becomes a boxer, visits the Battery and gets revenge on his tormentors. Later there is a boxing entertainment at the Manhattan Athletic Club, the wind-up to be a 5-round go between Riley and another for championship honors. Tom Sharkey is the referee and master of ceremonies, and it is the first appearance of the celebrated pugilist in moving pictures. Abie goes on in a preliminary and is bested in a ludicrous scene. Pat is whipped at the end of four rounds and his friends all desert him, save Abie. The years go by, and Pat is reduced to poverty, while Abie prospers as a real estate dealer, having slightly changed his name. Pat is ill in bed and his family in reduced circumstances, and to make matters worse the wife is served with a writ of ejectment, the rent being in arrears. She is desperate and takes the paper to the real estate dealer and is recognized by Abie as his friend's wife. Abie accompanies her home and proves to be a ministering angel. He awakens Pat and they clasp hands in a happy reunion.Release dateMarch 20, 1912 (USA)GenreShort · Comedy · DramaProduced byMark M.
