Norma Talmadge as a Dainty Dancer

THE SAFETY CURTAIN (1918) stars Norma Talmadge as Puck, a "dainty dancer" married to a brutish strong man (Anders Randolph) who starts a fire in a theater during which the safety curtain drops, containing the fire. Talmadge is rescued by a visiting military man (Eugene O'Brien), who falls in love with her and takes her away to India. Of course she thinks the husband is dead after reading an article in the newspaper listing the victims (which includes her). She goes off and lives a happy live in India until a gossipy guy she new in the States (Gladden James) recognizes her at a social function. And who should show up next?

Talmadge and O'Brien are quite good in this neat little film, which has a surprisingly intricate plot for a 60-minute film. The intertitles are very talkie and the florid script used is sometimes hard to read. Talmadge and O'Brien starred in 11 films together between 1917 and 1925.
