Summary
Camille,' the Nazimova production for Metro Pictures Corporation, now being shown for the last time today at the Queen's Theatre, is the inimitable Russian star's modernized version of the famous story of Alexander Dumas, the younger. Film synopsis included. Four years later, on February 2, 1852, it was put on the Vaudeville Theatre in Paris through the influence of the Duc de Mormy, and its unusual theme won it instant attention.
