Vintage original 8x10 in. US mini lobby card from the lost teens silent film drama, A BRANDED SOUL, released in 1917 by the Fox Film Corporation and directed by Bertram Bracken. In a prologue set in ancient Rome, the pagan Valerain attempts to abduct St. Cecilia to his debauched birthday feast, but her spiritual beauty stops him, and he kneels before her. In the main story, Conchita Cordova (Gladys Brockwell) sings in the cathedral choir in her village of San Miguelito near the Rio Grande. Millionaire oil man John Rannie (Lew Cody), whose oil fields have displaced the peasants, desires Conchita, and when he learns that her fiancee, Juan Mendoza (Colin Chase), has been employed by Adolf Wylie (Barney Furey), a German spy, Rannie threatens to expose Juan unless Conchita gives herself to him. Although disillusioned, Conchita decides to save Juan, but as she removes her cross, Rannie is moved by her sacrifice, and begs forgiveness. Meanwhile, the villagers, incited by Wylie, set Rannie's fields on fire. When Juan, thinking that Conchita loved Rannie, throws her cross in the fireplace and places it on her breast as a brand of shame, she rebukes him. After Conchita saves Rannie from being burned by the villagers, he kneels beside her in church. In Rome, Valerain kneels before St. Cecilia.
