What happens

The Woman on the Index is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by Hobart Henley and starring Pauline Frederick and her then-husband playwright Willard Mack. It was Frederick's first film at Goldwyn Pictures after coming over from Paramount. The film was adapted by Mack based on a 1918 Broadway play of the same name by Lillian Trimble Bradley and George Broadhurst. The play had been based on a short story, again by the same name, by Frank M. O'Brien, which first appeared in Munsey's Magazine in 1913. Openings for the film were held at the Rialto Theatre in New York City and at the Colonial Theatre in Green Bay, Wisconsin in March of 1919. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
