The original 63-minute feature film was later re-edited into a condensed 33-minute version retitled The Light of Faith, that was circulated to schools and churches in the 1920s.

Thankfully, state law required that films for schools and churches (the major market for that distributor) be printed on the nonflammable safety stock, so this multi-tinted version exists today.

The landlady, Mrs. Flaherty (Dorothy Walters) and another boarder, a cheap hood named Tony Pantelli (Lon Chaney) start to nurse Bessie back to health.

(* This segment is not in the condensed version: Seeing Bessie needs medical care, Tony Pantelli tries to raise money by stealing the chalice and selling it to a pawnshop.

(* The edited version picks up again here: From her sick bed, Bessie reads about Ashe finding the Holy Grail in a newspaper.

She touches the glowing cup and makes an instant recovery, but Tony is caught with the goods and put on trial for the theft.

(Some of these actors might not appear in the 33-minute version) The Light in the Dark was filmed in New York City and at the Paragon studio in Fort Lee, New Jersey in December 1921.
