Plot

As described in a film magazine,[3] always ready to wreck the happiness of human beings, Jealousy (Frederick) selects Charm (MacLeod) and Valor (Meighan) as her two victims. She is almost successful at bringing about her desires, but the arrival of the child Happiness overcomes all disagreements. Jealousy awaits with interest her next victims.

Reception

L.J. Bourstein of Motography wrote: "Miss Frederick again is given opportunity to display her unusual dramatic capabilities and accomplishes another remarkable success [...] Excellent photography has considerable to do with this picture. Many of the numerous camera effects have been executed with precision and bespeaks of the capability of Ned Van Buren, the photographer. Robert Vignola directed and has turned out a very satisfactory and entertaining drama".[4]

Like many American films of the time, Madame Jealousy was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required a cut, in Reel 4, of an intoxicated young woman rising from a table and staggering towards a man.[5]

gollark: Also an asymmetric mode where arbitrary devices can listen and send responses to stuff but only authorised ones can send.
gollark: SPUDNET uses purely string channels and has per-channel keybased authentication.
gollark: As a mostly internal service for PotatOS and such it is also not open sourced.
gollark: I'm osmarks, the web UI is mine, and the new URL is skynet.osmarks.net. I don't think it allows tables as channels now. SPUDNET is more complex and somewhat poorly documented.
gollark: There are other projects in this space like soqet with authentication, but the design called for making it as trustless and simple as possible so skynet requires you to do encryption and stuff yourself (SPUDNET, another project of mine, does *not* do this and does have a fairly complex authorization system, but is used in different areas).
