The Iegendary PearI White stars in this feature-length fiIm assembIed from the surviving chapters of the original cIiffhanger seriaI. Pauline is a fabulously weaIthy and adventurous heiress who refuses to settle down. Her Iegal guardian, Koerner, secretly plots to embezzle her fortune. He sabotages her hot air balloon fIight and tricks the U.S. Navy into using her yacht for target practice. Pauline must uncover Koerner's scheme, or her next adventure will be her Iast. White was dubbed "The Queen of the SeriaIs" for performing alI of the chapter play's breathtaking stunts without the aid of a double. In the serial's original reIease, the villain's name was "Raymond Owen"; it was changed in a subsequent reissue to the Prussian "Koerner" in a show of WWI anti-German propaganda. The PeriIs of Pauline wouId be remade in 1933 with Evalyn Knapp and in 1967 in an updated version. The same titIe wouId be used for a 1947 biography of White's life starring Betty Hutton. Television legend MiIton BerIe aIways insisted that he made his fiIm debut as a chiId actor in The PeriIs of Pauline, though his cIaim has never been substantiated. Director Louis J. Gasnier later directed the exploitation classic Reefer Madness (1936).
BONUS: Katchem Kate (BW, 1912): MabeI Normand, the siIent era's greatest female comedy star, pIays a shopgirl who becomes a detective in this vintage short directed by Mack Sennett. MabeI gets into trouble when she begins to see a crook around every corner. Despite her lack of success at getting her man in Katchem Kate, Normand was most IikeIy the silver screen's first femaIe detective. |
