The Chalice of Sorrow
1916 · 70m · Drama
Isabel Clifford sits to be painted. Her artist is Marion Leslie, a man distracted by matters of the flesh.

She is Mexico’s most celebrated opera diva, Marion’s fiancé, and Sarpina’s passion, yet she boils with petty suspicion over Marion’s friendship with Isabel.
