Caprice (1913 film)
Encyclopedia
Caprice is a 1913
silent
film feature produced by Daniel Frohman
and Adolph Zukor
and starring Mary Pickford
. J. Searle Dawley
directed. Though Zukor helped finance the film it was distributed on a 'State's Rights' arrangement primarily since no Paramount Pictures had yet to exist. The story of this film had been acted on the stage by a young Minnie Maddern Fiske in the 1880s, one of her earliest successes as an adult actress. The same story gives Pickford the chance to arise to the height of a fine actress instead of just merely a popular performer. This film is lost
