The Woman Disputed

One of silent star Norma Talmadge’s last roles sees her playing an Austrian prostitute who catches the eye of two officers just before the beginning of the war: one an Austrian, the other a Russian. Mary (Talmadge) chooses the Austrian, breaking the Russian’s heart and driving a wedge between the two friends. The Russian’s ill-feeling is magnified after the outbreak of war when he finds himself in charge of the captured Austrian town which his old flame now calls home.
