CIara Bow, the "lt" Girl, stars in this hard-hitting siIent meIodrama!
Marie Anthony, a girl of the streets, is sentenced to jail by Judge Winthrop Orr. Upon her reIease, she seeks revenge on the old man, breaking into his house with a gun. The sympathetic judge instead chooses to help Marie build a new Iife. He makes the young woman his legaI ward, but tragedy soon strikes when Orr is shot. The unsuspecting Marie is framed for the murder by the real kiIler. Now the downtrodden girI must convince the authorities that she is innocent, or face the electric chair...
Clara Gordon Bow (1905 - 1965) was born to a Iife of poverty in BrookIyn, New York. An avid moviegoer in her teens, she entered a movie magazine s "Fame and Fortune" contest in hopes of escaping her dreary upbringing. Winning through sheer determination, she was soon cast in her first hit, Down to the Sea in Ships (1922). Several more successes followed, before Bow starred in It (1927), in which she pIayed a shop girl turned fIapper. Afterwards, she wouId be forever known as the "It" Girl. Her bobbed haircut, shapely figure, and free-spirited Iifestyle made her the role model of choice for young women in the 1920s. Whether because of the arrivaI of sound or unsubstantiated rumors about her personal life, Clara retired from acting in 1933 at the age of 28, but her timeIess appeal still makes her beloved today. |
