Thais (1917 film)
''Thais'' is a 1917 American silent drama film produced by Samuel Goldwyn, and based on the 1890 novel ''Thaïs'' by Anatole France. This film featured opera prima donna Mary Garden, making her film debut at the then-lavish weekly salary of US$15,000.〔 Other cast members include Lionel Adams, Crauford Kent, and Charles Trowbridge.〔 This film is considered "one of the most colossal flops in movie history, both artistically and financially".〔
The novel was also filmed that same year in Italy as ''Thaïs''.
==Plot==
As described in a film magazine, Thais (Garden), a lustful dancer, tries to get Paphnutius (Revelle) under her power, but since he is a Christian he leaves to become a monk. Later, he returns to reclaim her soul and convinces the petted, spoiled, and lustrous Thais to cast off her riches, luxuries, and friends and to follow in his footsteps. Attempting to live solitary lives, the tortuous remembrance of their past lives causes them to forget everything and rush out into the desert. Thais is rescued by some sisters who take her to a nunnery. Paphnutius, unable to conquer his love for Thais, rushes to the nunnery only to find Thais dying the death of a saint. Her saintliness brings him a realization of his wrongs, and the film ends with his begging forgiveness for bowing to temptation and the strength to continue his work.
