        There is some foolishness in the picture's business

        A dream-story which takes an old professor back to the time when, in ancient Egypt, he was a king and great warrior and loved a woman whom it seems he treated coldly, though in the picture we don't see just why, for it isn't as clear as it might have been. Francis X. Bushman plays both the professor, whom he caricatures somewhat, and the Egyptian. Dolores Cassinelli plays the princess. Fred Wolf has a short role as assistant to the professor. There seem to be only four different backgrounds, but these, while amply suggestive of temples and palaces in Egypt, are plainly artificial, studio sets. There is some foolishness in the picture's business that detracts from its effect; but it has an interesting atmosphere and is a fair offering. - The Moving Picture World, January 18, 1913

        Looks like it might have inspired "The Mummy" from the Universal horror catalog...

        ... as it involves reincarnation and lovers seeking one another out when a past wrong done in ancient Egypt parts them.

        It's about a professor (Francis X. Bushman) who is happy to receive a sarcophagus containing a preserved mummy. After receiving it, he slumbers in a chair nearby. When he does, the mummy comes to life and is the princes Charazel (Delores Caassinelli).

        A flashback is shown where the professor, in a past life, is the love of the princess, but betrays her with a slave girl, who doesn't look like she's a willing partner in his pawing of her. The princess kills herself swearing to the god Osiris to track down the prince at some point in the future and avenge herself. And it looks like she's found him. Although he's an old man at this point. What happens? I'd say watch and find out, but this one is hard to see. It is shown as part of the documentary "This is Francis X. Bushman". Bushman's grandson, who narrates the documentary, does make mention that the exaggerated gestures on display are actually part of the DelSarte method of acting.
