When Lovers Part (1910) Online

Just before the opening of the war of the rebellion, a high-spirited young girl is parted from her lover by an obdurate father. She attempts to elope, but the plan is frustrated and she is deprived of even the privilege of seeing her sweetheart again. Then both father and lover go to war. The father is killed and brought back in a casket draped with the Confederate flag, while the lover returns at the close of the war full of honors to claim the little girl as his bride.

This 1-reeler from 1910 was produced by the Kalem Company with its biggest stars, Carlyle Blackwell and Alice Joyce as the lovers. Basic plot has father interfering with the romance of his daughter and a man. Both he and the man (Carlyle) go off to war (American Civil War) but only the lover comes back alive.

Filmed on location north of Orlando, Florida. This early film obviously uses the outside roofless sets to depict inside rooms to take advantage of the sunlight. The rooms are therefore unnaturally bright and breezy.

Carlyle has an odd hair style, different from his later films, and is almost unrecognizable. The actors receive no screen credits and are not mentioned in contemporary reviews ... common for 1910.

Rose Of Winds

A production from the Southern stock company, based upon events just before the war. A girl and her lover are parted by her relentless father. Both go to war, the father is killed, but the lover lives to return and claim his bride. The story is much such as many others have been based upon similar episodes, but the scenery has an added charm which will cause the picture to appear more attractive than it otherwise would. There are delightful old Colonial houses, blooming rose gardens and huge Southern oaks clothed in moss for a background, adding their share to the picture's features. The story is well told, and the combination pleased the large audience. - The Moving Picture World, January 7, 1911
