Polly of the Circus (1917 film)
''Polly of the Circus'' is a 1917 American silent drama film notable as the first film produced by Samuel Goldwyn after founding his studio Goldwyn Pictures. This film starred Mae Marsh, usually an actress for D.W. Griffith, but now under contract to Goldwyn for a series of films. The film was based on a 1907 Broadway play by Margaret Mayo which starred Mabel Taliaferro.〔(''Polly of the Circus'' as produced on Broadway at the Liberty Theatre, Dec. 23, 1907, 160 performances; IBDb.com )〕 Presumably when MGM remade the film in 1932 with Marion Davies, they still owned the screen rights inherited from the 1924 merger by Marcus Lowe of ''Metro, Goldwyn, Louis B. Mayer'' studios. 〔''The American Film Institute Catalog Feature Films: 1911-20'' by The American Film Institute, c.1988〕
This film marks the first appearance of Slats, the lion mascot of Goldwyn Pictures and (after the company's 1924 merger) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MGM Lyin' )〕
==Plot==
As described in a film magazine, the parents of Polly (Marsh), a little horseback rider, are dead, and circus performers Jim (Playter) and Toby (Eldridge) are her sponsors. One night while performing Polly is thrown from her horse and injured. She is taken to the home of parson John Douglas (Steele), and the circus is forced to leave without her. The parson finds in Polly someone different than anyone in his flock, but his liking for the circus rider does not please the members of the congregation. They force Polly to leave and she reenters the circus, but thoughts of the parson make her unhappy. After a year's separation, the circus comes to town again. Douglas has not forgotten his little circus performer, and one night he goes to the tent to visit her. She tries to send him away, but he will not go. The circus tents catch fire, and in the general confusion and wreckage, Douglas and Jim bring Polly to safety. In the arms of the parson, Polly bids her circus friends goodbye.
