D.W. Griffith used the Bronx facilities of the Biograph studios, together with a few location shots filmed at Fort Lee, NJ, for his 998-foot "vamp triangle" drama Two Women and a Man. The film begins with a rural marriage ceremony, then jumps ahead to the Big City, where the newly rich husband purchases a posh apartment for his wide-eyed wife. As hubby begins the old social-climbing route, wifey is left home to suffer in silence. Their marriage is eventually shattered by the inevitable "other woman," in this case a worldly stage actress. After breaking his young wife's heart, the "hero" goes from bad to worse, and ends up living in poverty. The only way he can get back on his feet financially is to hock his mistress' jewels, but she refuses. Ashamed, the wayward husband returns to his rustic hometown, where he finds his still-loyal wife waiting for him with open arms. Stephanie Longfellow and Frank Powell were among the Griffith stock-company "regulars" appearing in Two Women and a Man.
