    Betrayed and Ruined
    Mary is a good girl working as a waitress at an expensive resort, but when a rich, handsome young guest offers her an engagement ring, she accepts it..... and shows up at his wedding to some one else with a baby, of course.

    Although this is certainly not one of Griffith's stronger pieces from this period, it is still, like all his work, well worth watching. He handles large groups beautifully -- everyone is always doing something that makes sense, not just standing there saying "Rhubarb". And the early scene in which Charles West and Dorothy Bernard play falling in love is a beautiful piece of pantomime -- one forgets, sometimes, the strong visual component of acting that these old silent movies demanded.
