What happens

Trilby is a 1914 British silent drama film directed by Harold M. Shaw and starring Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Viva Birkett, and Charles Rock. It is based on Tree's 1895 stage production of Trilby, itself an adaptation of the 1894 novel of the same name by George du Maurier. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
