Should a Mother Tell? (1915)
100%
“Edwards has transferred the scenario to the screen with the easy command of a technical expert who has been given a free hand and a large expense account. His work is uniformly without fault. Betty Nansen, as Marie Baudin, could not be improved upon.” –

The Miracle (1912)

“The accessories to the pictures were splendid music composed by Engelbert Humperdinck and good singing. Nevertheless the pictures were the substance of the entertainment and the pictures were magnificent.” –

The Better Wife (1919)

“The most valuable member of the cast is Percy Darrell Standing. His embodiment of the man without a soul adequately conveys the author's intent... At times, he actually awakens sympathy for the monster's condition.” –

Salome (1918)

Cleopatra (1917)
