Joan Ritz Movies

The Mark Melford play Flying From Justice was pared down to 4 reels' running time (approximately 50 minutes) for this 1915 screen treatment. Gregory Scott stars as Charles Baring a divinity student who falls into bad company. Accused of being an accomplice to a gang of counterfeiters, Baring is forced to hop it to the hinterlands. Heroine Winnie (Joan Ritz) does her best to clear Baring's name. Like many British programmers of the pre-WW I era, Flying From Justice seems to have deteriorated into nonexistence. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
