About Should a Mother Tell
Faced with the tragic responsibility of choosing between the happiness of her 16-year-old daughter Pamela or saving the life of an innocent man, Marie Baudin's first impulse is to sacrifice all for her own. But she has second thoughts that bring complications to all.
Directed by J. Gordon Edwards, Should a Mother Tell leans on a strong ensemble — Betty Nansen, Stuart Holmes, Jean Sothern — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1915.
