Summary:
"Among the most exciting rediscoveries of silent cinema are the films of Lois Weber, who produced and directed a series of popular and provocative films at Universal Studios, often depicting women's struggles for independence within the ever-shifting moral landscape of the 1920s modernity." Sensation Seekers features a small-town girl who dreams of escape and adventure and resists the efforts of an earnest minister to tame her thirst for excitement. A Chapter in Her Life explores the efforts of a young girl whose childish innocence exposes the hypocrisy and weakness that threatens the happiness of an aristocratic family--From container
