    Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a fantastical 1912 Broadway play by Winthrop Ames, was adapted by Ames as a film in 1916. Two wonderful features of the film are the stunningly sumptuous costumes, sets and properties, and Ames’ adaptation of the fairy tale to modern psychological taste, including the social niceties of living as a princess with an evil stepmother and the motivation of the huntsman. And then there is Marguerite Clark. Her fame at the time rivaled that of Mary Pickford, but unfortunately so few of her films survive that we barely know her now. Here is a lovely introduction!
