Alma Taylor ... Dora Spenlow
Kenneth Ware ... David
One of the first British films of feature length. Based on the Charles
Dickens novel with all the familiar characters. The director made
sure of using the real settings that Dickens describes in his story
so that when David enters the city of Canterbury, we see the famous
stone arch that welcomes the typical visitor to this day. For many
years this was thought to be a lost film. Transferred from a tinted
and toned print
