A Nine O'Clock Town

In this 1918 film, David Clary runs a dry-goods store in a quiet town, where his life is disrupted by a city vamp who attempts to seduce and blackmail him. The plot thickens as a corset model steps in to save the day with her cleverness, making for an engaging narrative that blends comedy and drama.

A Nine O'Clock Town features performances by Charles Ray, Jane Novak, and Otto Hoffman, among others. The film is notable for its portrayal of small-town life and the challenges posed by outside influences. As a lost film, it holds a unique place in cinema history, appealing to collectors interested in rare and hard-to-find titles from the silent film era. Its production by the Thomas H. Ince Corporation and Famous Players-Lasky Corporation adds to its significance in film collecting circles.
