The Gift Supreme

The Gift Supreme is a 1920 American silent drama film starring Bernard Durning, Seena Owen, Lon Chaney (in a villainous bit role) and Tully Marshall.

Bradford opens a cheap restaurant in the area to feed the homeless and one night, a gangster named Merney Stagg (Lon Chaney) stabs him in a drunken rage.

It would have been possible, with the material in this story, to make a much stronger picture had the director hung his sequences together more compactly and dramatically.... Telly Marshall, Lon Chaney and Jack Curtis are the principal figures in the corps of assisting players and the work that each does stands out through sheer skill."

---Wid's Film Daily[6] "While 'old stuff' in the main, without any distinguishing high lights either in production, handling or cast, it is interesting...Of the character actors, Lon Chaney takes all the honors with Tully Marshall, of course, doing a small role in excellent fashion.

If you are a little tired of slick, nice-mannered and well-dressed society plays, go to see THE GIFT SUPREME and learn that life still runs wild in some places."
