The Beautified Ophelia: a Vile Phrase
boblipton10 July 2016
Boarding house operator Florence Radinoff offers a photo of herself to handsome tenant James Morrison. he thinks she's ridiculous. She takes herself and her gawky maid to a course of beautification. They stand revealed as a handsome middle-aged woman and Norma Talmadge. How will the men react?

This mildly amusing Vitagraph comedy is fairly obvious from beginning to end, but it has its moments and remains watchable to this day, in no small part due to the amazing beauty of the 19-year-old Miss Talmadge, still a few years from captivating and marrying industry powerhouse Joseph Schenck. If you wish to see a good copy of it, one is available on the Eye Institute site on Youtube.

It was worthy of better handling
deickemeyer10 September 2017
This is No. 4 in the Belinda Series and, in the first half, it shows only the same qualities that are found in the former pictures; but even this part made laughter. In the middle, it changes and begins to show a real idea. It seemed a pity to us that this should have been treated in just this way; it was worthy of better handling and a comedy was spoiled to make a farce. We find the same players as in the former pictures. Mrs. Breuil is the authoress and Bert Angeles the director. - The Moving Picture World, June 7, 1913
