The Lure of Youth

1921 · 60 min

A quiet, old-fashioned silent melodrama that unfolds slowly, trading on glances and theatrical longing rather than action.

Phil Rosen
Genres
Drama, Romance
Overview
Florentine Fair, a famous actress who is satiated with theatrical life, falls in love with Roger Dent, an unsophisticated youth with a passion for writing plays. Taking him to New York as her protégé, she encourages him to write. Although her lover Mortimer is insanely jealous at first, he finds merit in Dent's new play and finances him on Broadway.
