A 1919 American silent drama starring Marion Davies, The Cinema Murder is based on the 1917 book by E. Phillips Oppenheim. Elizabeth Dalston (Davies), who is preparing for a career in theatre, sees what seems to be a murder, as stated in a film magazine. She is horrified and unsure of the specifics, but she maintains strict confidentiality. She meets writer Philip Romilly (Barrie), who prepares her for her first theatre role, on a ship headed back to the United States. Although the killer is also traveling aboard the cruise, there is no real danger. Elizabeth participates in the summoning as the performance begins and is successful. The show's financier Sylvanus Power (Randolf), who is laying claim to Elizabeth's affections, knows that the new star is in love with Philip. Sylvanus then makes the decision to ruin Philip by implicating him in the slaying, only to discover that the allegedly murdered guy is still alive and well. Elizabeth and Philip are together as the movie closes.
Autorenporträt
Edward Phillips Oppenheim was an English author who lived from October 22, 1866, to February 3, 1946. He wrote a lot of best-selling genre fiction with glamorous characters, international drama, and fast-paced action. They were popular forms of fun because they were easy to read. In 1927, he was on the cover of Time magazine. Edward Phillips Oppenheim was born in Tottenham, London, on October 22, 1866. His parents were Henrietta Susannah Temperley Budd and a leather merchant named Edward John Oppenheim. He went to Wyggeston Grammar School until the sixth form in 1883, but had to quit because his family couldn't afford it. For almost twenty years, he worked in his father's business. His father helped pay for the release of his first book, which did just enough to cover its costs. It was under the name "Anthony Partridge" that he released five of his books from 1908 to 1912.
