Norma Talmadge's 20th film - a Raffles-like comedy

This is a comedy in which Norma Talmadge plays a girl raised as a thief who marries a wealthy man "in name only" to escape the reformatory. Later she makes him jealous in order to draw out a declaration of love. Reels 1 and 3-5 exist in 35 mm at the Library of Congress. The George Eastman house has two unidentified nitrate reels (unpreserved). Thanks to Greta de Groat for her website on Norma Talmadge from which the above was gleaned.
