Drums of Love
Drums of Love is a 1928 American silent romance film directed by D. W. Griffith starring Mary Philbin, Lionel Barrymore, and Don Alvarado.[3] After finding out her father and his estate is in danger, Princess Emanuella saves his life by marrying Duke Cathos de Alvia, a grotesque hunchback.[5] The female lead went to Mary Philbin, who was on a loan from another studio, Universal Pictures.[5] Critics agreed that Griffith did not know how to handle the film's theme and story the way Tod Browning could have.[9] Prints of Drums of Love are in the collections of the Library of Congress and George Eastman Museum.
