I enjoyed this movie much more than the other reviewers. Obviously produced as a showcase for the very talented Mae Marsh, the supporting actors are uniformly good and believable. Ms. Marsh is so convincing as the rejected orphan yearning for acceptance and love that she makes you ache to hold and comfort her. There are many fine touches by D.W. Griffith: the spectacular orphanage fire, the two bedtime kiss sequences, the off-screen first kiss, the extended movie-within-a-movie, and the final wedding scene where a nervous Ann asks her groom, "Is it over?" All in all, a very engaging and entertaining combination of pathos, romance, comedy, and murder mystery. I highly recommend this one!
