The Silver King - Henry Arthur Jones - Henry Herman - Great Plays

Wilfred Denver wins the heart of the beautiful Nellie and marries her, earning the ongoing festering resentment of Nellie's former beau Geoffrey Ware. A few years later, Wilfred and Nellie have a daughter, but Wilfred's financial recklessness has left him facing large debts. Geoffrey sees an opportunity for revenge.

The Silver King is an 1882 melodramatic play, by Henry Arthur Jones and Henry Herman. It was "so well known that criticism is superfluous" and played to record-breaking audiences. It was adapted for films in 1919 and 1929. The play featured stars such as Mary Pickford, with Phoebe Carlo playing Ned in the original production.
