House of Mystery (1913)

Danton passed a millinery shop, saw a pretty hat and bought it for his fiancée. Inez wore it and then all sorts of mysterious things began to happen. Wherever Inez went money and jewelry were roughly crowded into her pockets. The police were helpless. And then suddenly, Inez disappeared. Danton grew desperate and sought out Henry Sterret, a famous detective, who agreed to undertake the case. Sterret soon solved some of the mystery of that dainty bit of headgear. Madeline, his assistant, purchased one and immediately became the recipient of money and jewelry. What happened to her and Sterret, the thrilling rescue of Inez from The House of Mystery, makes a film that for absorbing story, dramatic situations, spectacular effects and convincing acting, is the vast exception among multiple reel subjects.
