Released in 1925, 60 minutes long

Directed by Charles Brabin, Carl Laemmle
Written by Mary Alice Scully
Cinematography by Milton Moore
Containing Mary Philbin

Don’t miss this stunning new 4K restoration of this 1925 gem, that showcases Mary Philbin (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) playing two roles as a sheltered heiress Stella Maris and a downtrodden servant Unity Blake. This remarkable remake (of Frances Marion & Mary Pickford’s 1918 film of the same title) is especially memorable due to “Philbin’s vanity-defying duel performance and Gladys Brockwell’s exquisitely vicious villain.”

Charles Brabin’s STELLA MARiS (1925) begins at 9:00pm @ The Castro Theatre – 4K restoration DCP courtesy of Universal Pictures
