Her Double Life

Her Double Life is a 1916 American silent drama film directed by J. Gordon Edwards and starring Theda Bara. It is based on the Mary Murillos story The New Magdalen, who also wrote the scenario. The film is now considered lost.

To get away from Stanley, she takes on the clothes and identity of an apparently dead girl, Ethel Wardley Madeleine Le Nard. Ethel was on her way to live with Lady Clifford Lucia Moore, an aunt she has never seen. So thats where Mary goes.There she meets and falls in love with Ethels cousin Elliott A.H. Van Buren. They become engaged. But Ethel is not dead and she recovers from her wounds. She and Stanley head for the Clifford estate to blow Marys cover. It doesnt matter, however, because Mary has already admitted the ruse, and the family has forgiven and accepted her anyhow. ........
