Out of the Storm (1920 film)

Out of the Storm is a 1920 American silent drama film directed by William Parke, and starring Barbara Castleton, John Bowers, and Sidney Ainsworth.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Margaret Hill (Castleton), a singer in a disreputable cafe, attracts the attention of Al Levering (Ainsworth), and he offers to have her voice cultivated.

While he is serving his sentence Margaret finishes her musical education and tours England, where she meets John Ordham (Bowers), who saved her from drowning in a shipwreck while en route to Europe.

In the original text, Tower of Ivory (1910) by Gertrude Atherton, Margaret Hill and John Ordham would meet on a boat and fall in love.

The plot was praised for its ability to “hold one’s interest by reason of its melodramatic moments, which are punctuated by other scenes that lack reality”, but the largest disappointment was certainly the performance that lead actress Castleton failed to deliver.
