The Substitute Wife (1925 film)

The Substitute Wife is a 1925 American silent drama film written by Katherine Smith and directed by Wilfred Noy.

Plot

A man, suddenly gone blind, mistakes another woman for his wife. When nurse Hilda Nevers returns from the Orient, she is left penniless because her father has died. She goes to work at a hospital where Dr. Kitchell is impressed by her voice, which is almost identical to that of his lover, Evelyn Wentworth. Evelyn is engaged to Lawrence Sinton, but only for his money. On their wedding night, Sinton is blinded when a burglar hits him on the head. Hilda is substituted for Evelyn, who is then free to continue her affair with the doctor. A family friend finally exposes the situation, but by then, Hilda and Sinton have fallen in love. Sinton has an operation that restores his sight, and he and Hilda are united.

Cast

Preservation status
gollark: You seemed to be suggesting that open source was somehow worse than closed source software for security, which I disagree with.
gollark: <@!707673569802584106> Basically everything uses open source software in some form. If your security is compromised by people knowing how some component of your application works, it is not very secure in the first place.
gollark: <@183773411078569984> Proprietary software can suffer from the whole trusting trust thing exactly as much as open source software.
gollark: It would help a bit. But having supplies for weeks to months of being at home is hard.
gollark: That seems to not always be available, because those services are getting used lots.
