The Silent Witness

A watcher at the door, a woman distraught.

What

A 1917 American one-sheet for The Silent Witness, a silent drama presented by the Authors Film Co.

Why

Harry Lambart directed it from Otto Hauerbach's 1916 Broadway play of the same name, with Gertrude McCoy in the lead.

Notice

An arched doorway splits the scene: the man leans in from the left while she stands in the light on the right.

“A secret overheard at the door”
