Former dancer Carol Dempster (1901-1991) starred in several of the later films of director
D.W. Griffith, with whom she had a romantic relationship. She retired from film after
marrying a banker in 1929. Critics in her time treated her harshly, and earlier Griffith stars
Lillian Gish and Mae Marsh disliked her. However, some of her films - especially Isn't
Life Wonderful (1924) and The Sorrows of Satan (1926) - are well-regarded now. Bank
stamps on front and verso, some of which touch signature. Circular stamp on front also
touches signature. Corners and edges gently worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
