The Two Orphans

The Two Orphans is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by Herbert Brenon and starring Theda Bara. The film is now considered to be a lost film. This film was based on an English play by John Oxenford - the same play that was being performed at the time of the Brooklyn Theater Fire. The film was later remade by D. W. Griffith as Orphans of the Storm , starring Dorothy Gish and Lillian Gish. The film was made by Fox Film Corporation when it and many other early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based in Fort Lee, New Jersey at the beginning of the 20th century.
