Tannhäuser (1913)
Follows the story of the opera fairly well
6 October 2017
A three-reel production, following the story of the opera fairly well. Though carefully costumed, the chorus was too large to appear to the best advantage in the opening scenes, as it had a rather huddled effect. The woodland scenes were striking and attractive, but some of the barefooted nymphs were rather scantily clothed and not as young and slender as might have been expected. Marguerite Snow appeared as Princess Elizabeth, Florence LaBadie as Venus, James Cruze as Tannhauser and William Russell as Wolfram. The production holds the interest and should succeed very well, accompanied by the well known Tannhauser music. - The Moving Picture World, July 26, 1913
