The Prisoner Of Zenda (1913 Film)
''The Prisoner of Zenda'' is a 1913 silent film adaptation of a play by Edward E. Rice, which was in turn based on the 1894 Anthony Hope The Prisoner of Zenda, novel of the same name. It was directed by Edwin S. Porter and Hugh Ford (director), Hugh Ford, and starred stage actor James Keteltas Hackett, James K. Hackett, Beatrice Beckley and David Torrence (actor), David Torrence. In 1913, Adolph Zukor lured Hackett from the stage to star in a role which Hackett had played in the theater numerous times. Since feature films were in their infancy, Hackett was at first reluctant to take the part, so Zukor tried to convince Hackett in person; as Neal Gabler writes, "When Hackett came to visit Zukor, he was the very picture of the faded matinee idol. He wore a fur-collared coat with frayed sleeves and carried a gold-headed cane". According to silentera.com, the Library of Congress possesses two paper positive prints, and the International Museum of Photography and Film at George Eastman ...

Who's Your Neighbor?

The film's plot focuses around reformers who pass a law to force prostitutes, including Hattie Fenshaw, out of the red light district.
