1. Nell of the Circus is a 1914 four-act drama film written, directed by, and starring actress Cecil Spooner. The film was based on a play Spooner had frequently starred in, in New York, called Polly of the Circus. The film is thought to be almost lost. Produced by Sawyer Film Company.

Nell of the Circus centers around a forbidden marriage between a wealthy heiress with a circus performer, and their daughter, Nell.

Cast:

2. Cecil Spooner (January 29, 1875 – May 13, 1953) was an American stage and film actress, screenwriter, and film director.

On December 9, 1914, Spooner was arrested at the Bronx theater that she managed for "indecency." The police and the local community had taken offense to the play Spooner had opened the night before, The House of Bondage, and its treatment of "white slavery," a euphemistic term for sex trafficking. Spooner was released into the custody of her lawyer; she revised the play twice to remove the "objectionable" content, but the show ran for only eight performances and was reviewed negatively by theater critics.

3. Mona Darkfeather: Josephine M. Workman better known by her stage name, Princess Mona Darkfeather (January 13, 1882 – September 3, 1977) was an American actress who starred in Native American and Western dramas. During the silent era of motion pictures, from 1911 to 1917, she appeared in 102 movies. She is best known for her role as Prairie Flower in The Vanishing Tribe (1914).

4. MORE THAN QUEEN: Pathe used a special hand coloring process on this four-reel French-made drama that was far more detailed and sophisticated than the monochrome tints generally used during the silent era. As with many films of this era, MORE THAN QUEEN is set in a fictional kingdom, Norovia, and its ruler is a young, but widowed queen (Gabrielle Robinne, from the Comedie Francaise performance troupe). Her son, an eight-year-old boy, is heir to the throne, but the grand duchess is determined to see her husband, the queen's brother-in-law, take the reins of power. The one person the queen trusts is Lieutenant Bernard (Rene Alexander), who is devoted to her. But during a ball, the grand duchess makes the queen doubt Bernard's faithfulness. A fire breaks out in the castle and Bernard, mistaking the grand duchess for the queen, carries her to safety. When he realizes his mistake, he risks his life to save both the queen and her little boy. The queen confesses her love for Bernard but is determined to hang onto her throne for the sake of her little boy. The boy, however, dies and the queen abdicates in favor of the grand duke so that she can be with Bernard.

5. The Perils of Pauline is a 1914 American melodrama film serial produced by William Randolph Hearst and released by the Eclectic film company, shown in bi-weekly installments, featuring Pearl White as the title character, an ambitious young heiress with an independent nature and a desire for adventure.
