Smouldering Fires (1925)
The great Clarence Brown brilliantly directs this timeless tale about
finding love in middle age. Pauline Frederick is an efficient factory owner
whose motto is "Let no man be necessary to you." When one of her employees
(Malcolm McGregor) has the temerity to make a suggestion, she first
dismisses him, then promotes him and then falls in love with him. Although
he is much younger, he also falls in love with her and they marry. But when
Pauline's younger sister (the lovely Laura LaPlante) comes home from
college, she begins to feel their age difference. An honest tale about
realistic people with genuine emotions but never stooping to cliche or false
sentimentality. Our print for this show is a combination of the American
release and the European version. Click for pictures: "Goodnight Scotty":
Pauline Frederick and Tully Marshall as Scotty with Malcolm McGregor looking
on. Pauline Frederick, Laura LaPlante and Malcolm McGregor. Laura LaPlante
as Pauline Frederick's little sister, introduces her friends. On the set:
Pauline Frederick and director Clarence Brown with the motto. A poster.
