The film starred Seymour Hicks and Ellaline Terriss and was based on the 1864 play David Garrick by T. W. Robertson, adapted by Max Pemberton.
[1] Made by Hepworth Pictures at Walton Studios, it was three reels long.
The film is set in London in the 1740s where Ada Ingot, a young woman, is infatuated with the actor David Garrick.
Her love for Garrick is so strong that she refuses to accept a marriage arranged by her father, Mr. Ingot.
Garrick is sympathetic to Ada's plight because he himself has fallen in love with a girl he doesn't know, but he promises her father that he will not make any romantic moves towards Ada.
