Desc: A Woman's Past: Directed by Frank Powell. With Clifford Bruce, Alfred Hickman, Carleton Macy, Nance O'Neil. Aspiring writer Jane Hawley gives in to the seductions of magazine editor Howard Sterling, but when he later rejects her, she wed Captain Wilson Stanley. After she gives birth to Harrison, Wilson is sent to the Philippines to guard a leper colony. In financial ruins, Sterling returns to ingratiate himself with Jane; Wilson's father sees him embracing her and banishes her from the Stanley home. Informed of his wife's presumed adultery, a dazed Wilson exposes himself to the leprosy and spends several years in quarantine while Harrison grows up in a boarding school. Years later, Jane is accused of killing Sterling but is defended in court by Harrison, who is still unaware of her real identity. The condemned Jane is about to be sentenced when Wilson, the actual killer, confesses to his crime and reveals Harrison to be Jane and Sterling's son.
