"Romola" is founded on the novel by George Eliot dealing with the vibrant, pulsating life of the Italian Renaissance in Florence, when that city was in her golden age; the age of the splendid de Medicis and of the martyred reformer, Bavonarola,

We recommend "Romola" as one of the finest photoplays as regards direction, acting, photography, and story we have ever seen. The noting of Lillian Gish as Romola was exquisite, like a Cameo come to life. Certainly it stamps her, without question, as the leading actress of the screen.
