The Enemies of Women--Photoplay style!

Though the film is not completely preserved, The Enemies of Women (1923) does mostly exist. Lionel Barrymore seemed to like Ibanez' stories in the 20s, appearing also in The Torrent and I believe one other film (will check my info!). You can read the novel in Spanish on Gutenberg here: Los enemigos de la mujer

Photoplay editions were issued after films were made of novels, mostly in the 19-teens through the 1930s. The films of course did not always follow the story, and in the case of this edition, misspell the author's name! But they tried... here you are! I own this one, so all scanning errors are mine.
Note the author name: it should read "Vicente", as it does on the hardcover scan below.
FANTASTIC back ads!
Oh Lionel...
