French PenaI law at the turn of the century exceeds in brutality, aIlowing prisoners on Devil's lsIand to marry, but condemning the innocent offspring to Iife imprisonment on the isle. BrilIiant surgeon Leon VaIyon is the spawn of just such a union, and his mother, Jeanette, has dedicated her Iife to devising a way for her son to escape. The two have been secretly working on a small boat and Jeanette has bribed officials to smuggle her son on a ship to Paris. A week before he is to depart, Leon comes to his mother with heartbreaking news. He has falIen in Iove with a Iocal girI and refuses to Ieave!
Actress Pauline Frederick was such a popuIar star on Broadway, that when she made the transition to film in The Emerald City (1915), her wide appeal brought box office success. Although she would appear in sixty-seven fiIms, culminating in the sound era with Thank You, Mr. Moto (1937) only fifteen survive, making Devil's lsland a rare opportunity the see this great actress at work in a first cIass, beautifulIy photographed production. |
