Daughter of Destiny (1917 film)

Daughter of Destiny is a 1917 American silent drama film directed by George Irving, produced by and starring Olga Petrova, and distributed by Metro Pictures.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Marion Ashley (Petrova), daughter of the newly appointed American ambassador to Belmark, is married to Franz Jorn (Randolf), a French artist who also is a spy in the employ of the imperial government.

Jorn places his ring on the dead man's finger and sets fire to the studio.

Jorn appears and tells Marion that Belmark is connected to a worldwide war for greed.

The Chicago Board of Censors required a cut of the cafe scene with a husband embracing a young woman sitting on his lap, setting a dead body on fire, and lighting and throwing an explosive to the balcony.
