In the Watches of the Night
(1913) United States of America
B&W : Three Reels
Directed by Stanner E.V. Taylor

Cast: Marion Leonard [Mrs. Stockton]

Marion Leonard Film Company production; distributed by Warner’s Features, Incorporated. / Released October 1913. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format.

Drama.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 18 October 1913, page ?] This three act picture features Marion Leonard, and its object is to show what a woman will do to save the good name of her husband and the father of her child. She could not save his honor; he had ruined that, but she labors strenuously and, in a way, heroically to keep it from being known that he was a thief and had committed suicide. To do this entailed carrying his body out to the highway where it might be found so as to suggest that he had been robbed and murdered; and it entailed the setting of the office where he worked on fire to cover evidences of his theft. All this sensational business has been done regardless of expense, and convincingly, but the heart of the story, its situation, is far from convincing. Marion Leonard fails to reach the height of her possibilities in it, and fails to make its emotions seem sincere. It is very well photographed.

Survival status: (unknown)
