The Scandal Mongers (1911) watch online HD

This very dramatic tragedy has a heart interest that held the audience very closely. The situation is created at a girls' boarding school and is carried to its climax in the home village. There were two girls from the village in the school. One was jealous of the other's popularity and contrived to have her expelled "for theft," then brought the news home to the scandal mongers of the village. She digs a very deep pit for herself and then falls in it. She makes a public confession. It is simply acted and effectively conducted. The happy ending, that is the very happy ending after the heroine's exoneration, the proposal of the young minister and the "bless you, children, at the gate," is perhaps weak. The reviewer sat in the balcony. The people around him watched the picture very intently till that end, and that they guyed. Yet, perhaps they liked it, nevertheless. It isn't, strictly speaking, a part of the story, and it is made a part of nearly every story. - The Moving Picture World, November 4, 1911
