What happens
The World and the Woman is a 1916 American silent drama film starring Jeanne Eagels as a prostitute who seeks a second chance in the countryside. The film was based on the 1914 play Outcast starring Elsie Ferguson, and was remade in 1922 as Outcast, starring Ferguson; in 1928 with Corinne Griffith, also titled Outcast; and with Bette Davis in 1935 as The Girl from 10th Avenue. The film is unrelated to the 1907 novel bearing the same title written by Ruth Kimball Gardiner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
