The Great Adventure, also known as Her Great Adventure[3] and Spring of the Year,[4] is a 1918 silent film directed by Alice Guy-Blaché, and starring Bessie Love.

The film is extant at the BFI National Film and Television Archive (London).[5]

Production

Shot at Solax Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[6][7]

Plot

An amateur performer (Love) has found local success and acclaim, but dreams of stardom on Broadway. She goes to New York, finds work in a Broadway chorus, and takes over the lead role when the star walks out of the production.[8][9]

Cast

  • Bessie Love as Ragna "Rags" Jansen[1][10]
  • Flora Finch as Aunt
  • Chester Barnett as Billy Blake
  • Donald Hall as Mr. Sheen
  • Florence Short as Hazel Lee
  • Walter Craven
  • Jack Dunn

Reception

Love received good reviews for her performance, called "likable",[10] but the film itself did not.[11][12] It was said that the plot "stretches the imagination of the spectator."[8] Despite the critical reception, the film was commercially successful.[13]
