Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Constance Talmadge was so beloved as Dulcy that she reprised the role in a 1929 sound remake, which ALSO tanked her career — talk about a curse.
This was one of thousands of silent films destroyed by decay, fire, or indifference; its survival in memory alone makes it a ghost star of cinema history.
