Under False Colors is a 1917 American silent drama film produced by the Thanhouser Company and directed by Emile Chautard.
As described in a film magazine,[1] John Colton (Warde) sends his son Jack (Vaughn) to Russia to compete the details of a loan to that government.
Olga, on arrival in New York, poses as Vera in order to obtain information in the John Colton home as she has been told that he is aiding the Russian government.
Q. David Bowers writes that it was easy to understand Thanhouser's decision to retire due to numerous aspects including that releases through Pathé were based on their decision to release or discard the work, the New Rochelle studio was 2,500 miles from the center of the trade activity and the slump in industry tied to World War I.
[4] Little is known of the production of this film, but it was directed by Emile Chautard from a scenario written by Lloyd F. Lonergan.
