Out of the Shadow

Directed by Émile Chautard

With Pauline Frederick, Wyndham Standing, Ronald Byram, William J. Gross and Nancy Hathaway

Ruth Minchin is unhappily married to her father's former business partner, a drunken brute. She contracts a friendship for Severino, a pianist, who lives in the same apartment house, and Minchin, discovering them together, orders the pianist from the room and knocks his wife down. Severino kills Minchin in a delirium following pneumonia, and Ruth is suspected of the crime.
