1911Best.-Nr. 216131911. Very Good Minus. The 1911 comedy of manners has a mother and daughter scheming to snag a rich husband with the daughter pretending to be an English aristocrat with great effect until a man comes along threatening to expose her. In the two large photos both 25 by 32 cm not counting margins we see Mrs. Fiske and her mother in the work played by Florine Arnold who was a frequent supporting player in Mrs. Fiske's productions. The margins of the photos are chipped and soiled. None of this intrudes on the photo images. One can see minor crack lines in the photos and these are fairly minor demerits. The photos remain sharp with only a touch of fading despite their age. unknown
