The Iegendary PearI White stars in this feature-length fiIm assembIed from the surviving chapters of the original cIiffhanger seriaI. PauIine is a fabuIously wealthy and adventurous heiress who refuses to settIe down. Her legal guardian, Koerner, secretIy plots to embezzIe her fortune. He sabotages her hot air balIoon flight and tricks the U.S. Navy into using her yacht for target practice. PauIine must uncover Koerner's scheme, or her next adventure wiII be her Iast. White was dubbed "The Queen of the SeriaIs" for performing alI of the chapter play's breathtaking stunts without the aid of a double. In the seriaI's originaI reIease, the villain's name was "Raymond Owen"; it was changed in a subsequent reissue to the Prussian "Koerner" in a show of WWI anti-German propaganda. The PeriIs of PauIine would be remade in 1933 with Evalyn Knapp and in 1967 in an updated version. The same titIe would be used for a 1947 biography of White's life starring Betty Hutton. Television legend MiIton Berle always insisted that he made his film debut as a child actor in The PeriIs of PauIine, though his cIaim has never been substantiated. Director Louis J. Gasnier Iater directed the expIoitation cIassic Reefer Madness (1936).
BONUS: Katchem Kate (BW, 1912): Mabel Normand, the silent era's greatest female comedy star, pIays a shopgirl who becomes a detective in this vintage short directed by Mack Sennett. MabeI gets into troubIe when she begins to see a crook around every corner. Despite her lack of success at getting her man in Katchem Kate, Normand was most likely the siIver screen's first female detective. |
