Dulcie's Adventure
Dulcie's Adventure is a 1916 American silent drama film, directed by James Kirkwood, and starring Mary Miles Minter and Bessie Banks. The script for the film was adapted by William Pigott from a novel written by R. Strauss. The film is notable for being the first time that Allan Forrest appeared as Minter's leading man; the two would make a further 19 features together, ending with The Heart Specialist (1922 film). As with many of Minter's features, it is believed to be a lost film.
Plot
As detailed in film magazines, Dulcie (Minter) is an orphaned girl who lives on an estate in the South with her two spinster aunts. Being from an aristocratic background, the aunts try to forbid Dulcie from playing with the poorer neighbourhood children, but Dulcie forms a particular friendship with Harry the grocer's son (Forrest), who gifts her a pet squirrel.
