Description

True Heart Susie (Artcraft, 1919). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Susie May Trueheart (Lillian Gish) has had a secret crush on William Jenkins (Robert Harron) since childhood, going so far as to secretly pay for his education. In true melodramatic fashion, Jenkins doesn't even know that Susie exists, eventually marrying "bad girl" Betty Hopkins (Clarine Seymour). Betty continues to enjoy the company of other men, however, a fact that the ever-loyal Susie hides from Jenkins, keeping the secret even after Betty's death from consumption. Eventually, Susie's aunt spills the beans to Jenkins, guaranteeing a happy ending for everyone. This film was released under Paramount's "Artcraft" banner, the top category of their three-tiered release system, one reserved for their highest-end, "A"-list productions. The colorful stone litho one sheet offered here is in superb condition, with only some tearing in the image area - now rendered almost entirely invisible thanks to outstanding restoration - keeping it from an even higher grade. Very Good on Linen.
