What happens
The Awakening of Bess è un cortometraggio muto del 1909 diretto da Harry Solter. I protagonisti del film sono Florence Lawrence (moglie del regista) e King Baggot, un attore teatrale molto conosciuto, qui ai suoi esordi cinematografici. I due, in un periodo in cui i nomi degli attori non comparivano sulle locandine pubblicitarie dei film, furono i primi a ottenere i loro nomi nei crediti, diventando ambedue stelle del cinema muto.
