The Call

1910 · 11 min Drama Adventure
3.0 / 10 · TMDB

Edith Lawson is engaged as the star dancer of a traveling tent show. Her circus name is Fatima. Billy Harvey, one of the performers, and a part owner of the show, is, or rather pretends to be, in love with Fatima, and she loves him in return. The arduous duties have made the poor girl ill but her managers cruelly insist that she must appear, as she is a feature. During her dance, however, she faints from weakness, and the audience is dismissed. Amos Holden, a young merchant in the village, who is in the audience, is deeply moved by the poor girl's predicament, and determines to help her.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a clear moral contrast between exploitation and compassion, relying on the expressive physicality of silent-era performance to tell its story. What lingers after the final frame is a simple yet effective portrait of a vulnerable artist caught between duty and despair. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: D.W. Griffith
