The Blind Princess and the Poet
4.1
“A film that is extraordinary in quality and outweighs a hundred common photoplays. The story is laid in some wonderful gardens, over which is poured the crystal flood of California's light. It possesses one charm all and singularly its own.”
A blind princess is informed that her sight can be restored by the first kiss of unselfish love she receives. She remains blind until a humble poet steals a kiss.
