Mary Pickford - Behind the scenes

Still: Behind The Scenes
Pickford stars as Dolly Lane, a successful stage actress who abandons her career to wed a handsome farmer. She soon discovers that love doesn't curb her desire for the footlights. Director James Kirkwood, who worked with Pickford on nine features, does double duty here as the husband. The original tinted nitrate print, the only extant copy, was acquired by James Card, the former curator of the motion picture collection at George Eastman House, from a private donor in the 70s for $850.
