Movies & Million-Dollar Mansions, Behind the Scenes at the "Flying A," Silents on the Islands, Way Back When: SB in 1924

SILENTS ON THE ISLANDS

Image: Motion Picture World, January 21, 1922

Kindred of the Dust


This domestic drama about a bigamist was released on February 27, 1922. It sounds like a real tearjerker. A newly married woman discovers that her husband is a bigamist. She leaves him and later gives birth. She and the baby are ostracized, except by her old high school boyfriend.


He wants to marry her, but his wealthy family objects. In order to keep the peace, she leaves.


It is yet another movie featuring a "noble suffering woman" that was more common on movie screens a century ago than now.

 

Some scenes were filmed on California's Santa Catalina Island. (There are no existing copies of this film.)
