The Beautified Ophelia: a Vile Phrase

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.
