The Light
To the Light! This is the toast the lovers drink. But in their hearts they know they are drinking to darkness and sin.
Theda Bara does her usual vamp turn in this picture, but this time she's a vamp who turns out to have a heart of gold. Her character, Blanchette DuMonde, is known as "the wickedest woman in Paris," and because of this sordid reputation, she is not allowed to serve as a nurse during World War I. So she becomes an Apache dancer instead.
Directed by J. Gordon Edwards · Written by Luther Reed
