The Mummy and the Humming-Bird

The Mummy and the Humming-Bird

1915 · Drama

The Mummy and the Humming-Bird recounts the tragedy of a neglected wife who seeks amusement in the company of an unscrupulous Italian novelist whose only object in making love to her is the hope of eventually accomplishing her downfall. The reawakening of the unsuspecting husband, the revenge of which a former victim of the wily schemer wreaks, and the saving of the innocent woman are fraught with thrills and dramatic suspense in abundance. It is the sort of production which can not but impress those who view it. This film is lost.

Directed by James Durkin · Written by Isaac Henderson
