From the Estate of Mary Pickford is this vintage original 7.5 x 9.5 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the classic 1920's silent film comedy/drama romance, SUDS, released in 1920 by United Artists and directed by John Francis Dillon. The image features an interior scene inside of a London laundry as poor young laundress, Amanda Affleck (Mary Pickford), reaches out to touch the hand of one of her customers (Albert Austin), whom she is in love with but who has no interest in her. It is untrimmed in very fine condition. Provenance: The Estate of Mary Pickford. A London laundress (Mary Pickford) attempts to rise above her station in order to capture the love of a wealthy young man (Albert Austin), thus missing out on the truer love of one of her own class (Harold Goodwin). The cast includes Rose Dione, Darwin Karr, Lavender the Horse, Taylor N. Duncan, Joan Marsh. The working titles for the film were The Duchess of Suds and Op O' Me Thumb. Three cameras were used in the shooting of this production, which was awarded the Board of Merit of the Motion Picture Theatrical Association's first seal of approval. Contemporary sources state that the harsh conclusion generated such widespread criticism that a second, happy ending was filmed, in which Amanda lives happily on Lady Burke's estate with Lavender and Ben.
