The Man Outside

While Ruth is on a visit of charity to one of the poor quarters of the city she is saved from insult by a young fellow of the slums. Out of gratitude she takes him to her home with the intention of having her father help him. Her father, however, forbids her to have anything to do with him and orders her to send him away.

Directed by —, The Man Outside leans on a strong ensemble — Harry Mainhall, Ruth Stonehouse, Bryant Washburn — 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 1913.
