Reputation (1917 film)

[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Constance Bennett (Goodrich) is determined to make sufficient money to set her aunt up in business before her marriage, so she goes to New York City to work as a model in a cloak house.

The manager Edmund Berste (Goldsmith), who has a jealous wife (Lee), takes a liking to Constance.

The wife learns of this and goes to Constance's home town and denounces her.

In order to save herself, Constance shoots Berste.

However, at the trial she is acquitted, and shortly thereafter she and John Clavering (Hinckley) are married.
