The Web of Desire, Advance Sheet
Two small men caught in her web.
What
A 1917 American advance one-sheet for The Web of Desire, a Peerless Productions drama distributed through World Pictures.
Why
The film is lost; Émile Chautard directed Ethel Clayton in it, and it opened on 5 March 1917.
Notice
"COMING" sits above the star's name, marking it as an advance sheet, and a string of pearls hangs from the web.
“Desire drawn as a spider's trap”
