The Story of Venus (1914) User Reviews

A pretentious and spectacular production

[deickemeyer · 30 June 2018]

This picture play is a pretentious and spectacular production. The author is Gilson Willets and N. McGregor the director. Adelia Lane is a regular Venus and Frank Newburg a fine Adonis until he is killed. The inevitable old apple of discard causes all the trouble until it is eaten by Circe's pet pig, then all ends happily. This picture is splendidly costumed and photographed. - The Moving Picture World, April 4, 1914
