We have included this film in our program to illustrate the work and contributions of our star Florence La Badie.

 

"Cymbeline" is a short drama based on the play by William Shakespeare. Florence La Badie plays princess Imogen, who ignores the king's choice for her husband and secretly marries her chosen man (James Cruze), who is then sent to exile. James Cruze tells the world that his wife is true to him and would not give away to anybody the bracelet that he presented to her. He is then shocked when his messenger William Garwood brings the bracelet to him, and swears revenge.
