The Place Beyond the Winds is a 1916 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, and starring Lon Chaney, Gretchen Lederer and Dorothy Phillips.

Dawson City had been the end of the line for many film distributors, and the titles were stored at the local library until 1929 when the flammable nitrate was used as landfill in a condemned swimming pool and promptly forgotten.

Also included in this amazing treasure trove were films by Pearl White, Harold Lloyd, and Douglas Fairbanks....".

Jerry Jo (Lon Chaney), a half-breed, lures Priscilla to a house that has a wonderful library under the pretense of letting her read some books, and then attempts to molest her.

One day, Priscilla sees Jerry Jo, now a homeless beggar, and taking pity on him, she decides to help him.

Upon her return, Priscilla discovers that her mother has died and her father is now blind, but still he refuses to allow her to set foot in his home.

Priscilla returns to her secret place in the woods where years before she had erected the makeshift altar to her own private god, when suddenly she hears a violin playing.

There is fine photography, superb settings, good acting if not always apropos of the situation, but the story is weak.
