King Rene’s Daughter

Directed by Eugene Moore

With Maude Fealy, Harry Benham, Robert Broderick, David Thompson and Mrs. Lawrence Marston

This elaborate and well-staged silent version of Hertz' play is exceedingly well produced for 1913: it starts off by introducing the actors by name and role, then showing them in double exposure in street clothes and in costumes. The production values are also elaborate and the look of the set designs reminds one of the elaborate backdrops that Melies used in his shots.
