Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Secret Sin is a surviving 1915 American silent drama film produced by Jesse L. Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It was directed by Frank Reicher and starred Blanche Sweet, Thomas Meighan and Sessue Hayakawa. This film often thought lost actually survives at the Library of Congress and along with a few other surviving Lasky features from 1915 to 1917 allows viewing of Blanche Sweet during her Paramount period immediately after she left D. W. Griffith's employ. In this film Sweet has a rare chance to act in a double exposure scene playing two different characters. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
