East Lynne (1925 film)

East Lynne is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and starring Alma Rubens, Edmund Lowe, and Lou Tellegen.

[3] As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] Carlyle (Lowe), a wealthy young Englishman buys a debt-ridden estate from Lord Mount-Severn (Mayne) and persuade his daughter, Lady Isabel (Rubens), to marry him though she loves the rascally Sir Francis (Tellegen).

A villager, the father of a wayward girl, is murdered and Richard (Fenton), the brother of Carlyle's former sweetheart Barbara (Daw), is accused.

Lady Isabel, misunderstanding, leaves her kiddies and goes with Sir Francis, who ill-treats her and finally casts her off.

Then she becomes ill and dies, happy in the thought she has saved her child's life and that Carlyle, who had recognized her, will keep her secret.
