The Bonded Woman: 1922
Now playing at the Granada: Betty Compson in "The Bonded Woman," accompanied by Paul Ash and his Synco-Symphonists, with Wallace at the organ.
San Francisco, 1922. "Foster & Kleiser billboard." 8x10 inch nitrate negative, late of the Wyland Stanley and Marilyn Blaisdell collections. View full size.
Bonded but not Branded
It's odd that an Adolph Zukor film wasn't billed as a Paramount Pictures release, since he was one of the principals of that company. Anyone know why?
[The parent company was The Famous Players-Lasky Corp. East coast productions were made under Zukor's supervision and billed "Adolph Zukor Presents," while those supervised by his partner at the west coast studio, "Jesse L. Lasky Presents." -tterrace]
Betty Compson
She was 25 at the time of this movie, and lived to age 77. From IMDb on The Bonded Woman: "Angela Gaskell travels and sails around the Pacific Ocean to rescue the man she loves, John Somers. Her task takes her from San Francisco bondage-servitude to a dance-hall in Honolulu to a remote South Seas island. She survives a shipwreck along the way."
