    The difficulties in watching, old vintage film is that you must accept the limitations of the years with the idea of what we think any film should be. I LIFVETS VARS is indeed a product of its time & place. It is a cliched story even by 1912’s limited reach about an orphan girl struggling to find a comfortable place for herself even as she grows and finds herself being pursued by three men, one a cad (played by Victor Sjorstrom). a kind-hearted foster father and an elder roue (played by Mauritz Stiller) who also happens to be his real father. The narratives uses the hand-written note as a motif to cary the numerous subtitles because all the characters keep jotting down memos for each other. Nothing to report on plotline, but a chance to see Stiller & Sjorstrom as actors in their early years. Thanks Jon.
