The PRICE - previouskly incorrectly identified film in EYE archive
The review that appears here is of a film preserved in the EYE institute under this title. It was wrongly identified as Lost Illusions but has since been correctly identified as The Price (1911).
Lost Illusions was a film about an unmarried country girl who falls in love with a visiting young artist. She subsequently marries a countryman but persuades her husband to take her to town so that she can seek out the man she still loves. He however is married and rejects her and so at first does her husband, when she returns to him, although they are eventually reconciled.
The EYE film concerns a young married couple in the country, who have a young child. The wife is seduced by a city-man and goes off to become his mistress, abandoning husband and child. She at first enjoys considerable social success but her lover tires of her and she endured the usual fate of the fallen woman (poverty and sickness). In the meantime, back in the country, her child has died but the husband remains heart-broken. When the doctor lets him know of his wife's approaching death, he rushes to town but only arrives in time to witness her decease.
