- Outcast is a 1928 silent film drama produced and distributed by First National Pictures. It was directed by William A. Seiter and stars Corinne Griffith, often considered one of the most beautiful women in film. This story had been filmed in 1917 as The World and the Woman with Jeanne Eagels. In 1922 a Paramount film of the same name with Elsie Ferguson reprising her stage role was released. Both films were based on a 1914 play, Outcast, by Hubert Henry Davies which starred Ferguson. The Seiter/Griffith film was an all silent with Vitaphone music and sound effects. In the sound era the story was filmed once again as The Girl from 10th Avenue starring Bette Davis.
- Miriam (Corrine Griffith), a streetwalker, is evicted from her San FRancisco boardinghouse and, down to her last $3, meets Geoffrey Sherwood (Edmund Lowe), an intoxicated socialite trying to forget a broken heart. Geoffrey likes Mariam and, on a whim, takes her to the church where his lost love, Valentine (Kathryn Carver), is being married to wealthy John Moreland (Claude King). Geoffrey becomes greatly attached to Mariam and rents her an apartment.Miriam falls deeply in love with him and becomes desperate when the heartless Valentine vamps her way back into his life. She attempts to return to the streets only to discover that, deeply in love with someone for the first time in her life, she can not give herself to another man. She then contrives to show Geoffrey that Valentine is a schemer who loves only money, and Geoffrey, come at last to his senses , takes Mariam in his arms.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
