Parisian Love (1925); Capital Punishment (1925)

Directed by James P. Hogan

Bow undertakes a “straight” role in this heated melodrama.  A man is voluntarily imprisoned on a trumped-up murder charge, as part of an exposé of the evils of the death penalty. The plan goes awry, and only Delia Tate (Bow) can save the man, with an appeal to the governor and a last-minute chase bearing crucial information, putting Bow’s emotional range and gusto for performance on full display.
