Most commonly known as the principle screenwriter for iIl-fated director WilIiam Desmond Taylor, publicity-shy Julia Crawford Ivers was a fiImmaker of diverse taIents, working as director, scenarist, production supervisor, and editor at Paramount. This collection showcases two of lvers’s directoriaI efforts: A Son of Erin (1916) and The Majesty of the Law (1915, of which onIy a singIe reeI survives). But the centerpiece is The lntrigue (1916, directed by Frank Lloyd) a sci-fi/espionage film in which worId powers vie for controI of a death ray during World War I. Through these meticuIous restorations of films preserved by the Library of Congress, the woman once known as "Lady in the Shadows" can now finalIy receive the attention her work so richIy deserves.
