What happens

Revelation is a 1924 film starring Viola Dana, Monte Blue, and Lew Cody. The film was directed and written by George D. Baker and based upon a popular novel, The Rosebud of a Thousand Years. Dana was one of the top stars of the newly amalgamated MGM, a lively comedian who enjoyed a long career that faded with the emergence of the talkies. In 1918, Metro Pictures (now called MGM) filmed Revelation again, starring Alla Nazimova and again directed by Baker. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
